This research adopts Molina and Albir’s translation techniques. It is defined as procedures used by the translators to analyze and classify how translation
equivalence works. Further, the address terms in the novels are analyzed and classified into 18 techniques. The translation techniques are adaptation,
amplification, borrowing, calque, compensation, description, discursive creation, established equivalent, generalization, linguistic amplification, linguistic
compression, literal translation, modulation, particularization, reduction, substitution, transposition and variation.
Adaptation is a translation technique which is focused on the cultural element of the source text and the target text. It is done by finding the closest
meaning and term because of the different culture between two languages. It is
used when a word in the source language cannot equally be found in the target language culture. For example, the idiom“as white as snow”in the source text is
unknown in the target text. “As white as snow”is translated into “seputihkapas”because
snow
does not exist in Indonesia. By finding the closest meaning and term, then the translator translates it into
kapas
because it is more natural than
snow
in Indonesia. Amplification is a translation technique which aims at introducing details
which are not formulated in the source text. It could be in the form of information or explicative paraphrasing. It is to add a description of a technical term which is
not familiar in the target text. For example, the word
Ramadhan
in the source textis maintained in the target text, but then it is described explicitly into
“the Moslem month of fasting”.
Borrowing is a translation technique which borrows the original terminology of the source text into the target text. It can be pure or without any
changes and naturalized into the target text. For example, the word
computer
in the source text is translated into
komputer.
The word
computer
is not originally from Indonesia, it is naturalization from the word
computer
to fit the spelling rules in the target text
.
Calque is a translation technique which maintains the expression form of the source language then translates each element literally. It is when a foreign word or
phrase translated and incorporated into another language. For example, the phrase “interest rate” in the source expressionis translated into“tingkatsukubunga”.
