The main purposes of the study was to explain the rendering of ideologies found in the English – Indonesian translation in the Twain’s novel The Adventure of Tom Sawyer which was realized through the rendering of ideologically-contested words, nominalization and voice. This study used descriptive qualitative study by means of Critical Discourse Analysis framework proposed by Fairclough (1989). The analysis was done by analyzing the ideologically-contested words, nominalization and voice found in the sentences where ideologies were embedded. This was also done by getting through the analysis of micro-level, meso-level and macro-level of Critical Discourse Analysis. The results of the study showed the way the ideological differences between the source language and target language were renderred, such as: tacit assumption, belief system and value system. Most of the ideologies were rendered into target language, while only few were shifted as the result of choosing the words, nominalizing the clause and changing the voice. The results of the study are expected to give a valuable contribution to the translator, English Department students and lecturers and writers to consider the rendering of ideologies in the literary works, in order to raise ideological awareness embedded on the source language and to succeed rendering the ideologies by considering the socio-cultural condition.

Abstract

“Central Java Visitor Guide” is a media to promote tourism for International tourists. This study was intended to reveal the translation techniques used by the translator in translating the sentences and to see the resulted grammatical equivalence between the source text (ST) and target text (TT). This study was done qualitatively. The findings of the research reveal that nine of 18 translation techniques proposed by Molina & Albir (2002) are chosen by the translator. They are : literal, borrowing, modulation, reduction, amplification, transposition, particularization, generalization, and description. Literal translation  (50.98 %) and borrowing (17.24 %) are the most dominant technique used. On the other hand, generalization and description are the lowest ones (0.73 %). It is also found out that the translator’s choice of translation techniques has resulted in 223 used of voice equivalent (45.60 %), 203 used of tense equivalent (41.51 %), and 63 used of number equivalent (12.88 %). There is no certain techniques influence the equivalence on tense and number category. However, non-equivalent on the category of voice is caused by the use of modulation and transposition techniques. Besides that, this study  also analyses the common problems of non-equivalence. They are : culture specific term (75.67 %), TL lacks specific term (12.16 %), TL lacks superordinate (8.10 %), and the use of loan words in the ST (4.05 %). Therefore, it can be concluded that the high rate of grammatical equivalence shows the translator’s success in translating the text.
