Background of the Research
terms. Each kind of address terms has its function in different identity, position, and social status. For instance, the word Srintil that is also translated into Srintil is
categorized as personal name which shows different identity. Because of these varied kinds of address terms, translators should give attention when translating them such
as dealing with the language and the culture of the story. The second problem is translating aspect. Translating aspect can be an activity
of replacing the message of the source language into the target language without changing the meaning. As translators, there must be several things to be considered,
such as strategies they used in translating the text. Translating is not an easy job. They should make good decisions to use appropriate strategies for the target language
so that the message can be conveyed. It can be omission, modulation, or generalization.
The third problem is linguistic aspect. The problem that arises from linguistic aspect is related to the meaning of address terms from the source language that are
translated into the target language. Sometimes, to keep the meaning of a word, translators preserve the meaning with the equivalent word. However, translators are
not infrequently changing the word in any existing language. It is because the word does not exist in the target language and can be expressed in some ways. Thereby, not
only the meaning of address terms and it is addressed to whom the translator should know, but also it should be translated with equivalent words or terms in the target
language. They should also master the meaning of address terms in the source language and in the target language, since each country has their own cultural
background. It will make the translated text culturally acceptable to the readers and the meaning also conveyed.
The fourth problem is literature aspect. In this novel, literature aspect that can be observed is the characterization of the main character in the novel. To know the
personality of a character in this novel, there must be many evidences that are gathered to prove the kinds of trait the character has. They can be from the way the
narrator describes the character, the action and the appearance of the character, and from the opinion of other characters in the novel.
