Maintaining Source Language in Translating Holy Book: A Case of Translating Al-Qur‟an into Indonesian

Translation involves two or more languages in practice. This undoubtedly activates the conflict between the source and target language. When translator tries to help readers understand fully the concept of the source text, he will sacrifice the source language to maintain the target. In this terms translator will have diffciculties to balance between those two languages. Maintaining both is much more problematic in tranlsation practice. Shifting between theories of translations does not automatically help translator to mantain the contents of the text tranfered into target language. Distorting as well as inserting translator‘s idea then is impossible to avoid. Mastering culture, history, sociology an many other disciplines in both source and target language will then help very much the action of translating. The next problem then occurs if it is related to law and religious teaching. Since holy text is sacredly honoured by the believers, translator is potentially sentenced to be sinful and to lose his profession. The alternative solutions are leaving the original text (Arabic) put side by side with the translation, undertaking borrowing and calque, and annotating on the target text

NATURALNESS IN TRANSLATION OF ENGLISH NOVEL INTO INDONESIAN

Naturalness in translation is a very important point in relation to translation product quality. This paper is a research-based article on the translation of English-novel into Indonesian. This research investigated the naturalness of the Indonesian language used by the translator in the translation of Anna Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl into Indonesian. The theories employed to help the analysis of data in this research meaningbased and componential analysis and of those by other scholars that are related to factors that can help identifying the naturalness of translation. Grammar of both languages involved can also be employed to help the sharp analysis of the data. Translation then should make sense; convey the spirit of manner of the original; have a natural and easy to comprehend form of expression; and produce a similar respond to that of the original. Beyond that, it is expected that some other factors triggering the less natural translation in target language be partially if not fully identified. The contrast between two languages involved in the translation, the cultural discrepancies, and the nature of meaning of each word make the translation process difficult. The use of different register, style, and targeted reader seem also to have role in influencing the naturalness of translation

Pemetaan Medan Elektromagnetik pada Pemukiman Penduduk di Bawah Jaringan Sutt 150 Kv Pln Wilayah Kalimantan Barat

Semakin tinggi tegangan transmisi semakin besar medan electromagnet yang ditimbulkan. Mengingat pentingnya hal ini, maka dilakukan pengukuran kuat medan elektromagnet dibawah saluran transmisi 150 kV dengan menggunakan EMF Survey Meter HI-3604. Harga ini menunjukkan bahwa kuat medan elektrik masih dibawah ambang batas yang distandarkan oleh WHO yaitu untuk medan listrik 5 kV/m dan untuk nilai medan magnet melebihi ambang batas yang di tetapkan oleh WHO yaitu 100 mT (80 mA/m)
