The results showed that more than 80% of the children were actively engaged during the learning sessions. Approximately 70–85% demonstrated increased learning interest, as reflected in their enthusiasm, verbal participation, and positive responses to English instructions. In addition, most children were able to recognize and pronounce 5–10 basic vocabulary items based on the learning themes and perform simple self-introductions.

Cultural adjustments are essential in the translation process, particularly when translating from Indonesian to English, due to the unique cultural nuances, customs, and expressions inherent in each language. Without careful consideration, these elements can easily be lost in translation. One major challenge is the cultural differences between Indonesian and English. Another challenge is the distinction between formal and informal language usage in both languages. To address these challenges, translators need a profound understanding of both the source and target languages and cultures. They must be well-versed in the cultural norms, customs, and expressions of both languages and adapt them appropriately in their translations. This study examines the translation techniques used to achieve cultural adjustments when translating Indonesian texts into English and how these adjustments are realized by the translator. A qualitative approach is employed, specifically descriptive research, aiming to provide a detailed description of existing translations. The data source for this research is the translation work of an English lecturer at the University Prima Indonesia. The translation techniques identified include adaptation, adoption uptake, common/established equivalence, discursive creation, compensation, and variation. The findings indicate that adoption uptake is the predominant technique used by the translator to achieve cultural adjustments from Indonesian to English.

This study investigates the role of Google Translate in supporting English vocabulary learning among junior high school students in the digital era. The research employs a qualitative approach involving seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Medan. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test, classroom observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that Google Translate significantly helps students understand vocabulary more quickly, improves their learning efficiency, and increases their confidence in completing English tasks. Students also demonstrate greater autonomy in exploring new vocabulary independently. However, the study also identifies challenges, particularly students’ tendency to rely excessively on direct translation without fully understanding context, which may lead to superficial learning. Therefore, teacher guidance is essential to ensure the effective and critical use of this tool. The study concludes that Google Translate can serve as a valuable learning resource when integrated appropriately into classroom instruction. The findings contribute to the development of technology-enhanced language learning and provide practical implications for teachers in utilizing digital tools effectively.
