Translation Procedures of Cultural terms Used In the book "Lombok: Conquest, Colonization and Underdevelopment, 1870-1940"

<p>This study aimed to analyze the cultural terms categories and some<br>translation procedures found in the book of Lombok: Conquest, Colonization, and<br>Underdevelopment as the source text, then compare with its translation text. This is<br>qualitative research in which data were presented by descriptions. The data were<br>gathered by using the transcription process for cultural terms items and sorting the<br>list of procedures. The data were analyzed by using Newmark’s Translation<br>procedures (1988) technique to analyze how the cultural items were translated. First,<br>this study showed that some cultural item categories were found, namely ecology,<br>materials, social culture or habits, and political organization in the society. Second,<br>this study showed that many translation procedures were used, such as Transference,<br>Naturalization, Descriptive equivalent, Shift or Transposition, Reduction, and<br>Expansion. Hence, as a translator needs to be scrutinized, there are many probabilities<br>of translating the cultural items as long as they are.</p>
