Translation by repetition or pure borrowing is mostly used the translator as translation strategy containing ecology, concepts of belief and religion, and anthroponyms. The translator intended to source language-oriented in the implementation of translation strategies in translating culture-specific items in The Spiderwick Chronicles because the culture-specific items in TL did not have equal meaning in TL culture. Dealing with equivalence of translation, the translator tends to avoid re-create the culture-specific items in SL.
