This research investigates translation strategies and equivalence in translating Indonesian cultural terms in UNESCO agreements into English. The study aims to explore how translation strategies are adapted to address challenges in formal document translation, specifically considering the cultural terms and norms present in UNESCO agreements. Using a qualitative descriptive method, purposive sampling was utilized to select formal documents from the Ministry of Education and Culture's website and UNESCO's official site, yielding English and Indonesian versions of agreements on intangible heritage preserved by UNESCO. With Newmark's theories on strategies and equivalence, the findings reveal the dominant translation strategies used. The couplets strategy is the most frequently used, with a usage rate of 27.27% out of 143 data points. The transference and loan word strategy is the second most common, with a usage rate of 17.48%. The equivalences used include Functional and Descriptive Equivalence (each 14.69%) and Cultural Equivalence (9.79%). These findings offer insights that enhance the quality of cultural translation across languages. The implications highlight the need for translators to have nuanced skills in navigating cultural disparities for accurate cross-cultural communication. Further research opportunities exist in analyzing broader document types and different language pairs to expand understanding of preserving cultural elements through translation strategies and equivalence.

This article presented the subtitles transparency from the Netflix series Baitu Tahir. Additionally, the implications of transparency were illustrated on dynamic equivalence. In this article, the Arabic and Indonesian subtitles were analyzed from the first episode, focusing on 569 data points using a descriptive qualitative comparative method. In this study, Venuti's theory identified translation techniques, while Nida's theory examined dynamic equivalence. The analysis revealed that foreignization (literal translation, transposition, and borrowing) and domestication (omission, transposition, addition, and adaptation) are both employed, with 68 instances of foreignization and 501 of domestication. The findings indicated that domestication is used more frequently to create a natural effect in Indonesian, the target language (TL). The balance of dynamic equivalence and transparency was crucial for ensuring subtitle accessibility while preserving cultural nuances. The study underscores the importance of strategic translation choices in subtitling, ultimately contributing to a better understanding of how foreign and domestic elements influence viewers' comprehension and the overall quality of translated content on global platforms like Netflix.

This study investigates how Indonesian cultural identity has been constructed and negotiated through agreements with UNESCO and examines its influence on global awareness, cooperation, and collaboration. A descriptive-qualitative analysis was conducted on 414 pages of Indonesian–English contract texts available in UNESCO’s online repository, focusing on cultural-specific words and items classified according to Ahimsa-Putra and Rachman’s (2021) taxonomy and coded as either resistance or negotiation following Venuti and Eco. The analysis involved descriptive coding using definitions from the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia and the Oxford English Dictionary, Source–Target Relations (STR) analysis to identify shifts, thematic categorization of translation strategies, and interpretive analysis based on Derrida’s concepts of meaning shifts and différance. A conceptual framework was developed to ensure semantic alignment and control for potential confounders during validation of meaning connotation, with authoritative dictionaries used to validate the lexicon and cross-literature checks conducted to compare our dataset with established literature anchors. The findings indicate that direct equivalence translation is infrequent, with contrastive searches for equivalents often resulting in faithful representation in terms of meaning, identity, and culture, and that generative description reveals nuanced relationships between translation choices and the representation of cultural identity.Keywords: Cultural identity, Cultural references, Negotiation, Translation, UNESCO Agreements

This study aims to analyze the specific characteristics and themes in the eight leading drink advertisements, focusing on how illocutionary speech acts influence consumer behavior and perceptions of drink brands. This paper delves into locutionary and illocutionary speech acts in drink advertisements in Indonesia for the period 2022-2023, published on YouTube. This study focuses on the communicative forms and functions of illocutionary speech acts in drink advertising on YouTube during the 2022-2023 period. In addition to speech modes, the marketing product also uses other modes. The focus of this research will be dissected using Wijana's theory of illocutionary speech acts. The results showed that during the 2022-2023 period, there were 8 top drink advertisements in Indonesia. Among all the drink advertisements, 3 used representative speech, 10 used expressive speech, and one used directive speech functions for each communicative function. Additionally, this research revealed notable differences in the effectiveness of various types of speech acts across these advertisements, ultimately providing insights into their impact on marketing strategies within the beverage industry.

Pematang Gubernur Subdistrict is one of the areas with well-organized residential areas and a fairly good level of environmental cleanliness awareness. However, understanding of waste management and separation is still uneven, and there are no information media available to help residents understand the proper way to sort household waste. This community service program aims to provide education through the installation of educational information boards in RT 22 RW 02, Pematang Gubernur Subdistrict. The implementation methods include field observation, preparation of educational content, media creation, board installation, and socialization to residents. The results of the activity show that visual educational media help increase public knowledge about types of waste and how to separate it, as well as serve as a sustainable educational tool accessible to residents.

This study explores how bank ownership affects the effectiveness of macroprudential policies in reducing the impact of monetary shocks on bank asset quality in Indonesia. The study is motivated by the idea that monetary tightening does not affect all banks equally, as ownership characteristics shape how banks respond to changes in the policy rate. Quarterly panel data from 40 Indonesian commercial banks during 2020Q1–2025Q4 are analyzed using the two-step System Generalized Method of Moments (System-GMM) to address dynamic effects, endogeneity, and differences across ownership groups. Bank asset quality is measured by the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio, while monetary shocks are proxied by changes in the Bank Indonesia policy rate. Macroprudential policy is represented through a composite index of prudential instruments, and ownership is divided into state-owned and private banks. The findings show that monetary tightening may initially improve asset quality by prompting banks to apply stricter lending standards. However, the effect weakens over time as higher borrowing costs reduce borrowers' repayment capacity and increase credit risk. The results also indicate that macroprudential policies help strengthen banking stability by containing the rise of risky credit. Furthermore, ownership structure plays an important role in policy transmission, with private banks responding more strongly to monetary policy changes than state-owned banks. These findings suggest that effective financial stability policies require stronger coordination between monetary and macroprudential measures, while accounting for differences in bank behavior driven by ownership structures.

Village tourism activists play a direct role as the front line in providing experiences to tourists. Therefore, good communication skills are a crucial factor in creating a positive impression and increasing tourist satisfaction. Based on the results of a preliminary survey conducted by the Community Service team of the English Literature Study Program, FKIP, Dehasen University Bengkulu, it is known that Belitar Seberang Tourism Village has begun to receive foreign tourists, although the number is not yet significant. The survey results also show that most village tourism activists still have limitations in using spoken English. These limitations include difficulty in greeting tourists, explaining tourist attractions, and providing basic information related to tourist facilities and activities. This condition causes the interaction process to not run optimally and has the potential to reduce the quality of tourism services. In addition to language skills, effective and tourist-friendly communication patterns also need to be improved. The results of the activities show that the non-formal socialization and contextual learning approaches carried out directly at tourist sites are effective in improving basic English for Hospitality communication skills. Village tourism activists are able to use simple expressions to greet tourists, provide brief information about tourist attractions, and offer assistance with more confidence. These findings indicate that field-based learning is more easily accepted and applied by participants than formal training approaches.
