Abstract

This research aimed at finding dubbing synchronization strategies of utterances that contain swearing words in Home Alone movie. It additionally purposed to find and describe the causes of  translation shifts for swearing words from English to Indonesian. The method used in this research is  descriptive qualitative. In addition, the study used documentation as a data collection technique . The data of this research were the utterances spoken by the characters in Home Alone movie. This research used the typology of Hughes (1996) to identify and classify swearing words. It also applied  the taxonomy of Matamala (2010) in the identification and description of  dubbing synchronization strategies. It further  used the classification of translation shift by Catford (1965) in the analysis of translational changes operated in swearing words. The result of theresearch showed that there were 76 swearing expressions in total. They included 60 forms  for  stupidity, 3  for religion, 4  for anatomy, 5  for  excretion, and 4  for animal. The researcher also found 63 cases of amplification, 7  of modification, and 6 of reduction. Futhermore, the reseacher found 11  structure shifts, 25 intra-system shifts, 26  rank shifts, and 14  class shifts. Stupidity was the dominant type of swearing words uttered in the movies. Amplification was the dominant strategy used in the movies. The dominant shift was  rank or unit shift. The researcher found that the translator or dubber often changed the number of syllables in order to focus on delivering the meaning.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the types of conflict and the formula Khaled Hosseini uses to present them. The study uses Folarin’s theory of conflict and Cawelti’s theory of formula as the main frameworks.The data consist of words and sentences that show nine types of conflict according to Folarin’s theory, taken from Hosseini’s three novels: The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and And the Mountains Echoed. The analysis uses Spradley’s componential analysis method and a structuralist approach to explore how the intrinsic elements in the novels connect to form Hosseini’s formula. The results show six types of conflict: man vs. self, man vs. man, man vs. society, man vs. nature, inter-group conflict, and intra-state conflict. Among these, man vs. society is the most dominant in the first two novels, showing that Hosseini uses a familiar and recognizable pattern of conflict and plot. Meanwhile, in And the Mountains Echoed, he introduces an inventive formula with a plot twist to make the story feel new. Overall, Hosseini’s formula in his novels combines both convention and invention.

Abstract

This study examines the translation techniques used in the Indonesian subtitles of Cruella (2021) by applying Molina and Albir’s (2002) framework and House’s (2015) Translation Quality Assessment (TQA). The objectives are to identify the techniques, determine the dominant one, and analyze its impact on meaning, tone, and character portrayal. Using a descriptive qualitative method, a total of 150 data were analyzed, revealing seven techniques: Literal Translation (46.67%), Modulation (36.00%), Transposition (7.33%), Reduction (7.33%), Adaptation (6.00%), Amplification (4.00%), and Equivalence (0.67%), with Literal Translation as the most dominant. The TQA results show that while literal translation successfully maintains ideational meaning, it often causes shifts in interpersonal function (tone and emotional nuance) and affects textual function, particularly humor and stylistic portrayal. These findings highlight both the strength and limitation of literal translation in balancing semantic accuracy with stylistic and cultural nuances in film subtitling.

Abstract

This qualitative study looks at how quasi-translation works in Tekken 8, a popular fighting game made by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Quasi-translation is when characters seem to understand each other even though they actually speak different languages. The study employs the theory of quasi-translation by Purnomo (2021). This study examines how Tekken 8 designs its characters from different nationalities to communicate smoothly without seemingly language barriers. The study investigates in-game conversations, visual signs, and how characters interact in certain scenes. The study finds that Tekken 8 uses two main ways to make communication work across languages: non-propositional signals, such as tone, gestures, and expressions, and indirect mediations like subtitles, common storytelling styles, and what audiences expect. These techniques have functions related to both diegetic and memetic purposes. The diegetic form of quasi-translation helps maintain the game's realism and makes the relationships between characters easy to follow, while the memetic form of quasi-translation aids players in grasping and appreciating the narrative. Through these techniques, Tekken 8 shows how modern video games can include different languages in a way that makes storytelling more connected and supports cultural exchange in gaming. This study suggests that quasi-translation in games can be a way to tell a story that helps people from different language backgrounds understand each other better. Quasi-translation in games can also function as a strategy to promote cross-cultural understanding. It proves that meaning can be understood even when languages are not the same, which adds to conversations about translation, how media communicates, and telling stories across different and various cultures. In addition, the findings of this study can serve as a reference for future research exploring quasi-translation in other media forms, such as films, animations, or multiplayer games featuring multilingual interaction.

Abstract

Although literary-to-film adaptations are widely used in higher education, empirical accounts of how novice or non-expert readers actually receive and organize the multimodal layers of such adaptations remain scarce. This study examines how the C-U-P-C-A-K-E (Character, Universe, Plot, Cinematography, Acting, Key message, and Editing) structures audience reception when applied by novice readers. Employing a qualitative case study design grounded in audience reception theory, the study analyzed the written essays of five English literature students at a private institution in Jakarta before and after engaging with the film adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, using thematic analysis. Findings show that participants' pre-intervention reception was fragmented and plot-centric, reflecting the cognitive demands of processing multi-track visual texts without a structuring lens. Participants focused on similar aspects of the adaptation, including cinematography and editing, which had not been discussed previously. However, they interpreted these aspects differently, resulting in markedly different thematic readings of the same adaptation. This pattern indicates that structured attention can shape the scope of novice audience reception without collapsing individual interpretive agency. Beyond its contribution to adaptation studies, the framework carries practical implications for fostering multimodal literacy in upper-level ELT courses.

Abstract

In today’s digital era, the internet serves as a global medium connecting multicultural users, particularly in the tourism industry, where the rapid growth of internet users in Indonesia has made website localization essential for accessibility and user engagement. As a key aspect of localization, website translation requires not only linguistic accuracy but also cultural and functional adaptation. This study compares the translation strategies and quality of user interface (UI) menus on two leading Indonesian travel websites, Traveloka and Tiket.com, in their Indonesian–English versions. It applies Pierini’s (2007) framework to identify translation strategies and uses the Localization Industry Standards Association (LISA) QA Model (2011) to assess translation quality. Data were collected from the English versions of both websites up to December 2019, focusing on flights, hotels, and trains. The findings show that both platforms predominantly employ the Full Translation strategy to maintain linguistic equivalence and design consistency; however, minor issues, such as cosmetic errors and numerical mismatches, occasionally affect functional precision. Comparative analysis indicates that Traveloka achieves higher overall translation quality and consistency than Tiket.com, supporting its stronger Top Brand Index performance from 2015 to 2019. These findings emphasize the role of accurate and consistent localization in improving user experience and enabling effective cross-cultural communication in digital tourism platforms.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of Yogyakarta’s traditional culinary culture in the global documentary series Street Food: Asia, with a particular focus on the Yogyakarta episode. Rather than examining the direct impact of media exposure on tourist behavior, this article analyzes how traditional culinary practices are selected, adapted, and visually constructed for global audiences. Using a qualitative visual content analysis approach, the study observes selected scenes, visual sequences, narration, dialogue, and spatial representations related to traditional food vendors, including Mbah Satinem, Mbah Lindu, and the production of mie lethek. The analysis is guided by Stuart Hall’s theory of representation and Linda Hutcheon’s theory of adaptation. The findings show that the documentary represents Yogyakarta’s culinary tradition through three main patterns: the visual construction of authenticity in traditional food practices, the narrative framing of elderly food vendors as cultural guardians, and the transformation of everyday culinary spaces into meaningful cultural spaces. These representations do not merely document local culinary practices but reconstruct them into emotionally engaging and culturally legible narratives for global viewers. The study concludes that Street Food: Asia functions as a global media text that adapts local culinary traditions into a representational form shaped by visual selection, narrative simplification, and cultural translation.
