CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter contains the findings and the discussion of the analyzed data in this research. The former presents the data findings that show the
number and percentage of the types of CSIs found in the source text, the translation techniques used by the translator, the ideological tendency of the
translator in translating the CISs, and the accuracy, acceptability, and readability of the CSIs translation. The latter presents the discussion and the
detail explanation of the data findings according to the research problems formulated which are the types of CSIs, the techniques used by the translator,
the ideological tendency of the translator in translating CSIs, and the accuracy, acceptability and readability of the CSIs translation.
A. Research Findings
This research discovered 77 culture-specific items CSIs from the source text. The data findings were served as the tables based on the four
research problems formulated which were the types of CSIs, the techniques used by the translator, the ideological tendency of the translator in translating
the CSIs, and the accuracy, acceptability, and readability of the CSIs translations.
1. The Types of Culture-Specific Items

Organization, customs, activities, procedures, and concepts and the last one is Gestures and Habits. All types of CSIs have been found in this research. Table

Table 8 shows that the CSIs fall under the fourth category is the highest rank with 35 data 45.5 out of 77 total data. It is then followed by
the second category which is material culture with 26 data 33.8 then followed by social culture with 8 data 10.4 and the first category which is
ecology with 6 data 7.8. Finally, the lowest rank of all is the fifth category which is gesture and habits with only 2 data 2.5.
