Prose by Walt Whitman”. The original poems translated into Indonesian language by Taufiq Ismail which is published by “Horison Majalah Sastra”.
First, the writer observed and analysis by procedures of translation between the SL text and the TL text in translation sentences of these poems to
classify the type procedures of translation such as addition, transposition, modulation, and adaptation. The writer connected first language to the translation in second
language. After that, the meaning of addition, transposition, modulation, and adaptation was checked in the form approach of translation in these poem
translations. In research findings, the writer found that the translator uses mimetic form approach
