This article discusses the quality of English translation of the course books of Physics, Economics, and History for Junior High School students in Indonesia. The research which becomes the base for the article is qualitative, conducted on five English version texts of bilingual books for Junior High School students in Indonesia. It selected one chapter of each book and analyzed the quality of its text structure as well as its text texture. The data were in the forms of discourse units and analyzed on the quality of the text structure and aspects of grammar quality such as the grammatical construction of the clauses and the lexical choices of the texts. In addition, it obtained data related to the readability of the texts from twenty students who were selected randomly. The results show that all of the English texts have good quality in their text structure. However, the grammar and choice of words show a number of weaknesses in each text. Text improvement should consider English grammatical rules and systems and Indonesian language interference for English grammatical constructions, word choice and technical terms.

Background: Increasing touristsâ€™ interest to visit museums can be accomplished through various promotional strategies. However, the Radya Pustaka Museum brochure falls short of successfully informing potential visitors about the museum's potency. Methodology: The brochure of Radya Pustaka Museum was first studied. Four locals were asked to review the brochure for naturalness and clarity. An open questionnaire was used, in which the respondents marked the expressions they perceived were unnatural or difficult to comprehend. In using content analysis, the primary data were gathered from the Indonesian descriptive texts in the brochure. Findings: Some of the information in the previous brochure of the Radya Pustaka museum was vague and confusing. Grammar mistakes, the frequent use of local cultural words, and overly complex sentences are all factors that contribute to this problem. To begin, all the grammatical errors and typos must be fixed. The museum's name should no longer be miswritten. Capitalization should also be considered when writing names and address forms. Additionally, each sentence must start with a subject. Conclusion: The proposed new concept brochure of the Radya Pustaka Museum in Surakarta is projected to increase the locals' interest in having a museum that they are eager to visit. The Appraisal theory was discovered to be useful in assisting the museum with these efforts because it is conceptually similar to rhetorical devices that effectively produce a promotional medium or message to engage the locals in embracing the museum. Originality: This study attempts to get the picture of the link between rhetorical strategies and Appraisal resources, as never been previously done, and make the best use of them to attract localsâ€™ desire in visiting Radya Pustaka Museum. Due to the small number of studies looking into rhetorical tactics in brochures, this research also intends to fill the gap to shed more light on how the strategies can serve as valuable resources in making intended effects more impactful in communication using brochures.

Pandemi COVID-19 membuat Museum Radya Pustaka Surakarta tidak dapat memberikan layanan secara maksimal. Salah satu cara mengatasinya yaitu membuat museum virtual Radya Pustaka. Museum virtual berbeda dengan museum fisik (onsite). Deskripsi koleksi museum virtual memiliki format yang lain dibandingkan deskripsi koleksi museum fisik. Staf museum telah memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan menghasilkan deskripsi koleksi museum fisik tetapi belum memiliki kemampuan menghasilkan deskripsi koleksi museum virtual. Deskripsi koleksi museum virtual juga perlu memenuhi standar internasional dan dibuat dalam bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris karena museum virtual dapat diakses dari seluruh dunia. Sebagai solusi permasalahan yang teridentifikasi, Tim Pengabdian Sastra Inggris Universitas Sebelas Maret melakukan pelatihan bagi staf Museum Radya Pustaka Surakarta sehingga mampu menghasilkan deskripsi koleksi museum sesuai standar internasional dan memperbaruinya secara berkala. Kegiatan ini dilakukan melalui tahap pembekalan dan pelatihan. Secara umum, pelatihan ini menunjukkan hasil positif yang berupa diperolehnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan oleh para staf dalam menghasilkan teks deskripsi koleksi museum virtual. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilaksanakan dapat dirasakan manfaatnya oleh Museum Radya Pustaka Surakarta, terutama para stafnya. Dengan demikian, pelatihan penulisan deskripsi koleksi museum virtual yang dilaksanakan telah mencapai tujuan kegiatannya.The COVID-19 pandemic has made the Radya Pustaka Surakarta Museum unable to provide maximum service. One way to overcome this is to establish Radya Pustaka virtual museum. Virtual museums are different from physical (onsite) museums. Descriptions of virtual museum collections have a format unlike descriptions of physical museum collections. The staff of the museum have the knowledge and skills to produce descriptions of physical museum collections but do not yet have the ability to produce descriptions of virtual museum collections. Descriptions of virtual museum collections also need to meet international standards and be made in Indonesian and English because virtual museums can be accessed from all over the world. As a solution to the problems identified, the English Department of Universitas Sebelas Maret Community Service Team conducted training for Radya Pustaka Surakarta Museum staff so they are able to produce descriptions of museum collections which meet international standards and update them regularly. This activity was carried out through the stages of briefing and training. In general, the training showed positive results in the form of the staff’s success in acquiring knowledge and skills in producing descriptions of virtual museum collections. The benefits of community service activities carried out can be obtained by the Radya Pustaka Museum Surakarta, especially the staff. Thus, the training on writing descriptions of virtual museum collections that has been carried out has achieved its objective.

Abstract. Due to inadequate labeling, a museum's fundamental objective may be compromised. Museum Radya Pustaka Surakarta's unappealing and grammatically improper labels prompted us to study foreign visitors' perceptions of the English version of the museum labels. An analysis of the translation was carried out to see whether the flavor and essence of the original captions were preserved, the translation was under relevant cultural standards, and it could be read fluently or non-intrusively. This study used a descriptive qualitative design. Its data consisted of linguistic data, collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The data were analyzed descriptively to answer the research questions on the naturalness and comprehensibility of label translation within the readers’ perception. It has been discovered that the local Javanese cultural terminology makes it more difficult for foreigners to comprehend the labels. In addition, the naturalness of the translation is hindered by grammatical faults such as a lack of text coherence and an inadequate sentence structure. Remarkably, improperly designed museum labels and defects in the source text have also been proven to produce barriers to effective communication in translation. These facts may be inconvenient and fail to serve people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Due to this circumstance, the Radya Pustaka Museum in Surakarta needs to ensure that both the Indonesian and English museum labels it provides are of adequate quality to benefit its potential foreign visitors.Keywords: comprehensibility; culture; labels; museum; naturalness; translationAbstrak. Pemanfaatan label untuk mendeskripsikan benda-benda koleksi museum dapat membantu tercapainya tujuan museum sebagai pusat ilmu pengetahuan dan penelitian. Tujuan tersebut akan sulit terwujud jika tidak tersedia label museum yang memadai. Label di Museum Radya Pustaka Surakarta menjadi perhatian kami untuk melakukan penelitian tentang persepsi pengunjung asing terhadap terjemahan label museum dalam versi bahasa Inggris. Terjemahan tersebut dikaji untuk memastikan apakah rasa dan esensi teks asli dapat dipertahankan, apakah terjemahan mematuhi standar dan norma budaya sasaran, dan apakah terjemahan dapat mudah dipahami. Hasil investigasi menunjukkan bahwa istilah-istilah budaya dalam bahasa Jawa menyulitkan wisatawan asing untuk memahami konten dalam label museum. Permasalahan tata bahasa dan struktur kalimat yang kurang baik turut mengurangi tingkat keterbacaan terjemahan. Selain itu, teks sumber yang kurang memiliki kesesuaian dengan tata bahasa Indonesia turut berkontribusi terhadap rendahnya kualitas terjemahan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa label museum belum dapat menjalankan fungsinya dengan baik sebagai media komunikasi dan penghubung antar budaya, khususnya dengan pengunjung yang memiliki latar belakang budaya yang berbeda. Oleh sebab itu, Museum Radya Pustaka Surakarta sebagai museum lokal sejarah masih memiliki pekerjaan rumah besar, yaitu menyediakan label museum yang mampu ‘memuaskan’ pengunjung internasional.Kata kunci: budaya, keberterimaan, keterbacaan, label, museum, penerjemahan

Children’s literature is crucial for the cognitive, emotional, and social development of young readers. In line with the Agency for Language Development and Cultivation’s initiatives to translate children’s books, this study aims to identify which aspects of translation quality are most effectively maintained and how they impact target readers, particularly regarding engagement across various reading levels. This descriptive qualitative study employed a product-oriented approach with a multiple-case study design to evaluate different reading levels on the Penjaring website. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to select data sources relevant to the study’s objectives. Primary data, the original texts and their translations, were sourced from the StoryWeaver website and the Penjaring website respectively. Informants, including raters and children of various ages, assessed translation quality. The study followed four analytical stages: domain analysis, taxonomy analysis, componential analysis, and cultural-theme analysis. Results indicate that the translation attempts to maintain the three aspects. However, while translations emphasize accuracy and acceptability, readability is often compromised due to complex sentence structures and unfamiliar vocabulary. Although readability scores are generally high, young readers frequently struggle with comprehension. This underscores the need to achieve a better balance between fidelity to the source text and accessibility for young audiences.

This article analyzes the quality of language usage utilized by writers/translators of bilingual handbooks for Physics, Economics and History that are used in Indonesian Junior High Schools. Ten translation version texts produced by the writers/translators are collected to be the objects of the research to be analysed for their quality of grammatical construction as well as lexical selection. The assessment of three raters are also obtained as the data for the accuracy and the acceptability of the texts, whereas the assessment of the users of the books are collected to verify the readibility of the texts. Although the results still show several weaknesses in grammatical construction and lexical choices, the writers/translators generally produced good quality translations. This is evidenced by the accuracy, acceptability, and readability of the texts that are of high rate. Among the lessons that can be derived from this analysis is that writers/ translators are recommended to keep upgrading their skills in the use of the English grammar and also in the choice of English vocabulary in order to attain excellence in their profession. Keywords: bilingual handbook, translation, grammar usage, lexical choice, translation quality

This qualitative study examines a key challenge in Audiovisual Translation (AVT): balancing technical constraints with the stylistic fidelity required to represent characters with distinctive communicative traits, focusing on Dr. Shaun Murphy, a character with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in The Good Doctor (2017). The study analyzes English source dialogues and their Indonesian subtitles across seasons 1–4, employing a descriptive qualitative method with a stylistic approach. The analysis identifies the types and functions of repetition, the translation techniques used, and subtitle quality based on accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Expert focus group discussions were conducted to validate the findings. Results show that deletion, reduction, and discursive creation frequently remove repetitions, reducing emotional nuance and weakening ASD-related speech features, thus diminishing character distinctiveness. Conversely, preserving repetitions maintains character integrity and enhances subtitle quality. Theoretically, this study contributes to AVT by highlighting the importance of stylistic fidelity in translating neurodivergent discourse and recognizing repetition as a marker of character identity. Practically, the findings underscore the need for preservation-oriented techniques to prevent character erasure and to support authentic representation of ASD characters.
