Abstract

The growing diversity of translation quality assessment (TQA) models has raised concerns about consistency and reliability, as previous studies show that the same target text may receive different quality judgments when evaluated using different frameworks. This variation exposes the limitations of accuracy-oriented approaches and underscores the need for a more function-sensitive assessment model. In response, the Function-Based TQA model introduces text function as a key quality dimension that extends evaluation beyond linguistic correctness to communicative effectiveness. This study examines the importance of incorporating text function as a central criterion in TQA and explores its perceived role among translation professionals. Adopting a descriptive research design, the study draws on qualitative data from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with translation lecturers and professional translators actively engaged in TQA. The data were analyzed using an interactive qualitative data analysis model. The findings demonstrate that text function plays a fundamental role in TQA by determining whether the target text fulfills the same communicative purpose as the source text within its target context. To facilitate practical assessment, this study proposes clearly defined quality descriptions and a corresponding scoring system for different levels of functional adequacy. Overall, the study argues that including text function as a distinct quality dimension enhances the consistency, explanatory power, and applicability of TQA models, contributing to a more holistic approach to translation evaluation.

Abstract

Translating literary works addressing sensitive issues such as domestic violence (DV) and psychological trauma requires careful strategies to preserve meaning, emotional nuances, and pragmatic effects in the target language. This study examines translation techniques, levels of meaning equivalence, and relevance in dialogues concerning domestic violence and personal trauma in Colleen Hoover's It Ends with Us and its Indonesian translation, Akhir Antara Kita. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, 451 dialogue segments were analyzed using the frameworks of Molina and Hurtado Albir (2002), Baker (1992), and Gutt (2010). The findings identified 17 translation techniques, predominantly established equivalent (26.60%), modulation (20.45%), and literal translation (20.28%). Pragmatic equivalence was the most prevalent type (78.71%), followed by textual (9.53%), grammatical (8.20%), word-level (2.88%), and above-word-level equivalence (0.67%). The findings indicate that modulation and established equivalent facilitate adjustments in perspective and socio-cultural context while maintaining implicit meanings and managing readers' processing effort. Overall, pragmatic flexibility plays an important role in conveying the emotional and contextual nuances of dialogues involving domestic violence and personal trauma.
