The Translatability of Indonesian Modality into English

Translation is a bilingual activity and the languages involved in translation have their own lexico-grammatical features. Modality which can be categorized into modalization and modulation refers to grammatical realization of interpersonal meaning. Systems of modality are different among languages and these differences become important to be well handled in translation. This research is focused on the translatability of modality from Indonesian into English. It investigates the effects of translation strategies applied by the translator to the contextual meaning of target text that is identified and analyzed from the perspectives of type, value, and orientation of modality based on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar. The result shows that modality in Indonesian can be rendered into English. Shifts due to the value or orientation of modality cause differences of the contextual meanings between Indonesian and English texts

This study tries to identify and describe the phenomena of translating culturally bound expression from Indonesian into English as a result of the translation ideology and strategy exercised by the translator. This is a descriptive translation study focusing on objective aspect of the product using unidirectional parallel bilingual corpora based on text-based theory and translator-based theory. The findings show that based on the study of Indonesian fiction with Balinese culture setting translated into English there is an effort to translate the cultural meaning with the strategy of borrowing

Figurative expressions in the short story of ‘sepotong tubuh’ and their translation into English

This paper is a descriptive translation study focusing on the types of figurative expressions used in the short story of ‘Sepotong Tubuh’ and how they are translated into English in the short story of ‘Body’. The study departs from a paradigm that looks upon the translation of the short story as a product and tries to analyze the theme of the short story in both the source and the target language texts since the theme is the motivating force of any literary works. Understanding the theme will lead to the understanding of the figurative expressions used in the short story as the use of figurative expressions is motivated by the theme of the short story. Theoretically, the study is an eclectic one based on the theories concerning strategies for translating figurative expression proposed by Larson and the theory of translation proposed by Nida and Taber. This paper is expected in the first place to provide some insights for those who are interested in translation studies especially figurative expressions and in the second place to be beneficial for translation practices
