Based on the example above, it is obvious that translating humor in a movie is a complicated task to accomplish. Furthermore, translating wordplay in a movie
dialogue into subtitle is even more challenging as the translator is expected to produce translation which must consider time limits and space constrains. At the
same time, the translator is required to present the same sense and effect of the source language expression into the expression in target language having different culture
and sense of humor. The above phenomena leads the researcher to analyze types of pun which occur
in the movie, the technique of translation applied in translating the puns, and the accuracy level of the pun translation.
B. Problem Statements
In current research, the following problems are proposed: 1.
What kinds of puns are found in the animation movie Madagascar II Escape to Africa?
2. What techniques of translation are applied in translating the puns found in
the animation movie Madagascar II Escape to Africa? 3.
What are the impacts of the translation technique on the accuracy level of translation of the dialogue containing puns of the animation movie
Madagascar II Escape to Africa?
