Abstract

Archaic word is one of the major vocabulary features of legal English. The use of archaic words can be difficult to understand for non-law practitioners because they are no longer commonly used in modern English. This thesis explores the archaic words found in selected laws and regulations of the Republic of Indonesia and investigates their meaning, function, and equivalent modern word replacements and Indonesian translations. The research methodology used is descriptive-qualitative, utilizing linguistic phenomena as data, specifically archaic words. The English and Indonesian versions of Law Number 25 of 2007 on Investment, Law Number 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies, Law Number 3 of 2014 on Industrial Affairs, and several government regulations related to industrial development and permits serve as the data sources. Data collection involves content analysis and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The data are analyzed in four stages: domain, taxonomy, componential, and cultural themes. The key findings of the study reveal a total of 196 archaic words identified in the selected laws and regulations, consisting of 15 words and phrases. The most frequently encountered archaic phrase is "in the event," followed by "pursuant to," "hereinafter," and "amongst." Understanding the meaning and purpose of these archaic words is essential to comprehend their role within legal documents and facilitate the identification of modern English words or phrases that convey the same legal concepts

Abstract

The translation of public signs is classified as an inter-language translation because it involves two languages: Indonesian as the source language and English as the target language. On the other hand, the differences in grammatical rules sometimes cause a translation shift. In the case of public signs, people have noticed some ineffective sentences and unnatural translations provided in public transportation that should be improved by the stakeholder. This study focuses on the English-translated public sign and intends to indicate the function of public sign, translation technique, and types of verb shift. Moreover, the verb translation in public signs is analyzed to figure out how verb translation affects the accuracy and acceptability of the whole sentence. Content analysis and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) were used to collect the data. Qualified raters conducted FGD to assess the accuracy and acceptability aspects. Data was collected from public signs in Jakarta’s integrated transportation, such as Transjakarta, MRT Jakarta, LRT Jakarta, and KAI Commuter. Findings reveal that verb translations in public signs from Jakarta’s integrated transportation mostly produce a translation shift and have a lower score in terms of accuracy and acceptability. The quality is considered “less accurate and acceptable” with an average score of 2.12 due to distortions of meaning, grammatical errors, and improper collocations. In addition, some data used unnatural or uncommon terms for the English reader. Keywords: Integrated Transportation; Public Sign Translation; Translation Quality; Translation Shift; Translation Technique.

Abstract

Audiovisual translation, particularly subtitling, plays a crucial role in bridging cultural gaps for a global audience by making local expressions and culturally-bound references accessible across languages. The globalization of media content has increased the demand for accurate and culturally sensitive subtitles, prompting a deeper examination of how cultural nuances are conveyed in translation. This study investigates the translation of cultural terms in the Netflix Original Series Gadis Kretek. The objectives are to (1) classify cultural terms based on Newmark's (2017) framework, (2) analyze the subtitling strategies used, following Pedersen's (2011) theory, and (3) evaluate translation accuracy using Nababan et al.'s (2012) criteria. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and Spradley's (1980) analytical approach, 206 data of cultural terms were identified. Social Culture was the most common category, comprising 136 data (66.01%), followed by Material Culture (21.85%), Organization (8.25%), and Ecology (3.89%). This study found six subtitling strategies: retention, specification, direct translation, generalization, substitution, and omission. Direct translation was the most frequently used strategy (61.65%), while specification was the least used (1.46%). Translation accuracy was assessed through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), which showed that strategies such as Direct Translation and Retention achieved higher accuracy by preserving cultural context. Conversely, Generalization and Omission often resulted in lower accuracy due to a loss of cultural specificity. Overall, the translation quality of cultural terms in Gadis Kretek was rated as accurate, with an average score of 2.93.

Abstract

This study explores the translation techniques and accuracy of subtitles in the variety web series Going Seventeen, concentrating on representative speech acts in the "Bad Clue" segment. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research delves into how these speech acts are translated and their effects on audience comprehension. As variety web series on platforms like YouTube become increasingly popular, effective subtitle translation is vital for bridging linguistic and cultural gaps. The study identified 120 sentences containing representative speech acts, with informing and asserting being the most prevalent, comprising 36% and 33% of the data, respectively. Less frequent acts, such as implying and reporting, enhance the dialogue's depth and engagement. The predominant translation techniques—literal translation, modulation, transposition, and established equivalents—contribute to the accuracy and clarity of the subtitles. Despite these techniques, the overall translation accuracy is moderate or less accuracte, with an average score of 2.56 out of 3, indicating some inaccuracies that affect the intended meaning and emphasis of the speech acts. These insights are crucial for improving subtitle translation practices and enhancing the global audience's understanding of digital content.

Abstract

This study examines the flouting of Cooperative Principle maxims in conversational implicature and Gottlieb’s translation strategies used in the subtitles of One Piece (Live-Action Series 2023). This study aims to identify which conversational maxims are flouted, Gottlieb’s translation strategies employed, and how these implicatures are translated into the target language. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with document analysis as the data collection technique. The results showed that all four conversational maxims were flouted, and some implicatures flouted multiple maxims simultaneously. Most implicatures were translated into the same implicature in the target text, while a small number were translated explicitly and have undergone explicitation. The most frequently used translation strategy was Paraphrase, followed by Condensation, Transfer, Dislocation, Decimation, Expansion, and Deletion. Most of the implicatures translated explicitly use the Paraphrase strategy to ensure that the utterances are clear and align with the conversation.

This study aims to analyze the types of conceptual metaphor, identify techniques of translation, and assess quality of translation consisting of accuracy, acceptability, and readability. A qualitative method with a descriptive approach was applied, using content analysis and focus group discussions (FGD) as data collection techniques. The results reveal that there are 100 data containing conceptual metaphor on political news headlines of @tempodotco and @KompasTV. The three types of conceptual metaphor are structural metaphor, ontological metaphor, and ontological metaphor. The most frequent data is ontological metaphor within fifty-six (56) data followed by the commonly used technique, literal translation. The quality of translation shows the score of accuracy is 2.43, acceptability 2.44, and readability 2.49 which indicates these scores are still less accurate, less acceptable and have severe readability issues, which is due to automatic translation feature on X still has limitations in understanding context, language, and culture.
