Abstract

Over years, translators have been incorporating new advances in technology into their work. A number of attempts in developing ideal translator’s workstations using technology have been made, one of such stations is a Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) tool. CAT tools facilitate translators to increase their productivity and efficiency by providing them with some utilities, such as a Translation Memory and an Alignment Tool to support their translation works. This article highlights the usefulness of SDL Trados 2014, as one of the most widely used paid CAT tools, in translating the texts more effectively and in a timely manner. Further, it describes the basic steps in using SDL Trados and exemplifies SDL Trados 2014 translation results. A sample text was translated from Indonesian to English using both Across (a free CAT tool) and SDL Trados (a paid CAT tool). Eventually, the results of translating using both CAT tools appear to prove that SDL Trados helps the translators to translate more consistently, accurately, effectively and in a timely-manner.

Abstract

The main aspect of translation is how one’s expression in   one language is replaced with an equivalent representation in another language. The representation should be equivalent in terms of its stylistic, referential, and linguistic features. Whether there is a need for a translation text to be classified as "weak," "fair" or "good," its acceptability and the means of determining it as well as how to improve one’s translation quality were what we investigated in this article. National and international translation standards now exist, but there are no generally accepted objective criteria for evaluating the quality of translation. Therefore, such an assessment is needed to reveal the quality of the translation of a text from Indonesian into English. This article aimed to assess it using an alternative instrument and suggestions on how to improve translation quality which the authors adapted from NAATI (National Accreditation Authority of Translators and Interpreters). They adopted the stylistic, referential, and linguistic components of NAATI’s translation quality assessment. Based on the limited data that they had, a number of improvement procedures were recommended.

Abstract

The present study is aimed at providing translating theory of English into Indonesian and vice versa. In achieving the aim, content analysis of expressive (poem), informative (report and academic), and vocative text (advertisement) is applied. The analysis is based on three aspects consisting of grammatical structure, cultural words, and writing mechanic. The result shows that the translator needs to adapt the grammatical structure, cultural words, and writing mechanic of source language into target language. However, there are exceptions in cultural words and capitalization. In translating from English into Indonesian especially in academic text, some English words are assimilated into Indonesian (foreignization). In translating Indonesian poem into English, the target text capitalization imitates source text capitalization. Besides, for the purpose of attractiveness, persuasion, and effectiveness in translating Indonesian advertisement into English, different words are prefered but the meaning is retained.
