The perfection of interpreting by non-linguist interpreters

An interpreter is a person who converts a thought or expression in a source language into an expression with a comparable meaning in a target language in real time. The function of interpreters is to convey every semantic element (tone and register) and every intention and feeling of the message that the source-language speaker is directing to target-language recipients. Interpreting (oral translation) is not an easy job. In written translation, a translator has time to consider and revise each word and sentence before delivering their product to the client. While an interpreter’s goal is to achieve total accuracy at all times, details of the original (source) speech can be missed and interpreters can ask for clarification from the speaker. This paper deals with the perfection of interpreting by non-linguist interpreters in Bhagavad Gita class in Sri Jaganath Gauranga Temple in Denpasar, and it has been presented in 2ndTranscon (International Translation Conference) in Jakarta but hasn’t been published yet. There are some interpreters at the temple that have no special background knowledge about linguistics, especially translation/interpreting, but they can deliver the message from the source language (SL) English into the Target Language (TL) Indonesian perfectly. The cross-culture understanding that they have and their knowledge background about the text (Bhagavad Gita) play an important role in this case. The interpreters have been interviewed for the purpose of this paper to find out the factors that affect the perfection of interpreting for non-linguist interpreters

Figurative Language in a Poem Translation

It is by the grace of Almighty God that this book “Figurative Language in A Poem Translation” has been completed in an attempt to address Woman’s anger at male supremacy which is the theme of the poem entitled “Percakapan” and its translation into “Conversation”. This book analyzes the types of figurative languages found in the Indonesian poem and in its translation into English, the theme of the poem that motivates the use of such figurative languages; and the condition of equivalence in the translation of figurative languages from the Indonesian poem into English. The use of these figurative languages is consistently motivated by the theme of the poem. This theme turns out to be well maintained in the target language poem despite the occurrence of a degree of noncorrespondence in the translation of various figurative languages from the source language poem into the target language poem. This book is an expansion on my thesis entitled Translation of Figurative Expressions with Reference to The Translation of The Poem “Percakapan” into “Conversation”. On this occasion I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisors, Prof. Dr. I Wayan Pastika, M.S. and Dr. I Wayan Resen, M.A., M.App.Ling. for all helpful guidance, support and encouragement given to me. This book also would never be in its present form without the support and guidance from a number of people. Therefore, I would like to give my sincere thanks to the Rector of ISI Denpasar, the Dean of Performing Arts Faculty ISI Denpasar, the Head of Karawitan study program, Vern Cork and Colleen Lynch, Christopher James Edgar Hull, Andrew John Cochrane McNeilly for all the support and assistance given to me. My sincere and deep gratitude also goes to my beloved parents who have been supporting me morally and materially since the very beginning of my life. Last but not at all least, to my beloved children I.G.A. Jesika Sita Devi N. and I.G.B Krisma Surya Deva N. who become constant source of inspiration and for my beloved man for all his tender love and encouragement. Finally, I hope that which has been presented in this book will be worthwhile and of benefit to the development of the translation studies, especially the figurative language translation in literary works. Perfection only belongs to God. This book is far from being perfect. Criticism and suggestion for the improvement of this book will be greatly appreciated. Denpasar, July 2019 Dr. N. K. Dewi Yulianti, S.S., M.Hum
