N = total of frequency OblT = obligatory translation
Percentage of OblT = fN x 100 = 15165 x 100
= 9,09 An optional transposition is a transposition, that for the sake of style, can be
choosen by translator if it fits better into the utterance or if there is an expression in the SL can be translate Literally but the meaning in the TL feels clumsy. From the data
above, the writer found that there are 6 cases of optional transposition with the percentage below:
fN x 100 With : f = the frequency
N = total of frequency OplT = obligatory translation
Percentage of OblT = fN x 100 = 6165 x 100
= 3,6 The total of Transposition Procedure is 9,09 + 3,6 = 12,69
4.1.3 Modulation
Modulation is the varying of the language, obtained by a change in the point of view. This change can be justified, although literal even transposed. There are two types
of modulation, namely free or optional is generally adopted because of nonlinguistic reason. It is mostly used to stress the meaning, to affect coherence or to find out natural
from in the TL. Example :
No. No. Data

From the data above, the writer found that there are 66 cases of free modulation with the percentage below :
fN x 100 With : f = the frequency
N = total of frequency FrM = free modulation
Percentage pf Frm = fN x 100 = 69165 x 100
= 41,8 Fixed Modulation is occurs when a word, phrase or structure cannot be found in
the TL. From the data above, the riter found that there are3 cases of fixed modulation with the percentage below :
fN x 100 With : f = the frequency
N = total of frequency FixM = free modulation
Percentage pf Fixm = fN x 100 = 3165 x 100
= 1,8 The total of Modulation Procedure is 40 + 1,8 = 41,8
4.1.4 Equivalent
Equivalent is often desirable for the translator to use an entirely different structure with different meaning from that of the source language text so long as it is considered

appropriate in the communicative situational equivalent to that of the source language text.
The writer found 11 cases of Equivalence where languages describes the same situation by different stylistic or structural means. In the data above, the writer found the
classical example of equivalence. Examples :

N = total of frequency E = Equivalence
Percentage pf E = fN x 100 = 11165 x 100
