Abstract

Interpretation is crucial for overcoming language and cultural obstacles, particularly in medical contexts where accuracy and clarity directly affect patient care. Consecutive interpreting (CI), in which interpreters render messages after the speaker pauses, is commonly used in healthcare encounters such as pregnancy check-ups. While previous research has explored strategies in conference, legal, and educational interpreting, little attention has been given to medical dialogues. The study aims to analyze the strategies employed by a student interpreter in a simulated pregnancy check-up dialogue. Using a qualitative approach, the data were drawn from video transcripts of Indonesian–English dialogues and analyzed through Faerch and Kasper’s (1983) framework of interpreting strategies. The findings reveal that elaboration strategies dominate, accounting for 90% of instances, followed by skipping (6%) and filtering (4%). The prevalence of elaboration demonstrates interpreters’ effort to enhance clarity and ensure accurate comprehension of medical information. These results align with Gutman’s (2025) argument that interpreters are key to health equity, as their strategies not only transfer linguistic content but also reduce health disparities and build trust in clinical interactions. The study highlights the significance of support for interpreters in medical contexts to ensure patient safety and equitable healthcare access.

Abstract

Translation plays an important role in presenting literary works from all over the world for readers to enjoy without having to bother being limited by mastery of a foreign language. To produce equivalent literary works, translation strategies are used to deal with different language systems. This research aims to investigate the strategies used by translators in translating Indonesian literary works into English. This Descriptive-Analysis study was completed using qualitative methods. The data source used is the Indonesian short story ‘Sambal Terasi’ by Isti Rahmawati. The 56 data collected were analyzed using translation strategy theory by Newmark (1988). The results showed that translators adopted (1) transference strategy, (2) transposition strategy, (3) cultural equivalent strategy, (4) functional strategy, (5) descriptive equivalent strategy, and (6) through-translation strategy. This study revealed that the dominant strategy was the transference strategy, where the translator tried to maintain a sense of originality of the author’s work. Strategies such as cultural equivalent and descriptive equivalent were used to improve readability. The findings suggested that maintaining cultural identity through transference was prioritized. This study highlights the dynamic role of translation strategies in balancing cultural preservation and target language accessibility, underscoring their importance in translating Indonesian literary works for global readers.
