2. The Translation Strategies which Represent Foreignization and
Domestication of Culture-Specific Terms CSTs Found in Sophie Kinsella’s and Siska Yuanita’s I’ve Got Your Number Bilingual
Translational Texts
According to the version of continuum of foreignization and domestication by
Judickaitė, there are five foreignizing translation strategies and seven domesticating translational strategies. Those strategies are pure strategies.
However, in this research, there are some CSTs that used two or three strategies to realize the CSTs from source text to target text.
a. Foreignization
In this study, there are four foreignizing translation strategies. They are preservation, addition, naturalization and literal translation. However, after doing
the research, it is discovered that the translator did not use the strategy of addition. Instead, it is found that there is one more classification of foreignizing translation
strategies added in the foreigization category. It is called mixed strategies in the context of foreignization, which is a mixed of two or more of those four
foreignizing translation strategies.
1 Preservation
Preservation, which is the most foreignizing translation strategy, is used 70 times by the translator. Preservation is a strategy when the translator decides to
keep the term in SL to re-express it in the TL. An example of preservation can be seen below.
SL : There are yew trees and a monkey puzzle in the garden.
TL : Ada pepohonan
yew

monkey puzzle
di tamannya.

the following sentences. SL
: The faces round the table are all motionless and jaw-dropped, like a row of versions of that painting
