Abstract

This research was conducted to find out the translation methods applied by the translator in translating figurative language in O. Henry's short stories. This descriptive analysis research took the data from nine short stories as the research documents. There were 19 pieces of data taken from those nine short stories and analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that literal, semantic, communicative, idiomatic, and free translation methods were used in translating simile metaphors and hyperbole. It was found that the literal translation methodwas significantly used compared to other translation methods. The frequent use of literal indicated the poor translation competence of the translators that tended to copy both the structure and meaning of the source text into the target text.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the translation techniques employed in the English-Indonesian translation of Carlo Collodi's "The Adventure of Pinocchio." By utilizing Molina and Albir's translation techniques, the study explores the specific methods used by the translator, Lulu Wijaya. The objective of this research is to gain insights into the translation techniques utilized in fairy tales and their implications for cross-cultural communication and children's literature. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through the analysis of documents. The researcher identified 312 instances of translation techniques, which were categorized into nine types. These included adaptation (62 cases), compensation (71 cases), borrowing (1 case), amplification (3 cases), discursive creation (4 cases), established equivalent (1 case), literal translation (150 cases), modulation (6 cases), and reduction (14 cases). Notably, the most prevalent technique employed by Lulu Wijaya was literal translation. The findings of this research shed light on the prevalent use of literal translation in the translation of fairy tales, specifically "The Adventure of Pinocchio." Understanding these translation techniques is valuable for the field of translation studies, providing insights into the challenges and considerations involved in translating children's literature. Furthermore, these findings have implications for cross-cultural communication and the effective conveyance of meaning to young readers. This research contributes to the understanding of translation techniques in fairy tales, emphasizing their significance and potential applications in the broader context of literature and intercultural exchange.

Abstract

The translation of prophets' names in the Quran often differs from their original form, with English translations frequently aligning more closely with the biblical figures. This raises the question of whether these translations still accurately reflect the Quranic depiction of the prophets. This study aims to examine the translation strategies applied by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem in translating the names of the twenty-five prophets in his 2004 English rendition of the Quran and how these translations maintain the intended meaning. The research employs a 'Function-Oriented' translation approach, which focuses on the socio-cultural function of translation within the recipient's context. Using Hermans' (1988) four strategies for translating proper names—pure borrowing, naturalization, adaptation, and literal translation—Abdel Haleem applies the naturalized strategy to nine prophet names and the adaptation strategy to sixteen names. These strategies enable the translation to remain culturally appropriate and intelligible for the target audience while still representing the Quranic names. The study highlights the cultural challenges inherent in translation, as understanding the names depends on the target culture, necessitating a shared cultural understanding between the translator and reader. This research contributes to translation practices by emphasizing the importance of balancing linguistic fidelity and cultural adaptation in religious texts.
