FORM-BASED TRANSLATIONSATTEMPT TO FOLLOW THE FORM OF THE SOURCE LANGUAGE AND ARE KNOWN AS LITERAL TRANSLATION

MEANING-BASED TRANSLATIONSMAKE EVERY EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE THE MEANING OF THE SOURCE LANGUAGE TEXT IN THE NATURAL FORMS OF THE RECEPTOR LANGUAGE, WHICH IS CALLED AS IDIOMATIC TRANSLATIONS

LITERAL TRANSLATIONS

LITERAL TRANSLATION SHOULD BE??

?????????????????

What is your name?

Madame Odette, passenger with destination Douala, is demanded on the telephone

Ms. Odette, passenger for Douala, you are wanted to phone.

A truly idiomatic translation does not sound like a translation. It

sounds like it was written originally in the receptor language.

WHAT IS TRANSLATOR’S GOAL?

Very Literal

Modified literal

Inconsistent mixture

Near idiomatic

Idiomatic

Unduly free

The translator’s goal should be to reproduce in the receptor language

a text which communicates the same message as the source

the receptor language.

Amina Wadud was born September 25, 1952 in Bethesda, Maryland and is an Islamic feminist and scholar with

a progressive, feminist focus on Qur'an exegesis. Wadud was born as Mary Teasley. Her father was a Methodist minister and

her mother descended from Muslim slaves of Arab, Berber and African ancestry dating back to the 8th Century. She

received her B.S, from The University of Pennsylvania, between 1970 and 1975. In 1972 she pronounced the

shahadah and accepted Islam, not knowing of her maternal ancestry and by 1974 her name was officially changed to

Amina Wadud to reflect her chosen religious affiliation. She received her M.A. in Near Eastern Studies and her Ph.D. in

Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Michigan in 1988. During graduate school, she studied advanced Arabic in

Egypt at the American University in Cairo, continued with Qur'anic studies and tafsir at Cairo University, Egypt, and took

a course in Philosophy at Al-Azhar University.

How does a translator make his translation as dynamic as the original

text?

find it easy to grasp the message, including both the information and the emotional effect

intended by the source language writer.

VOCABULARIES MAIN IDEAS

LEXICAL MEANINGS STYLISTIC VALUES

In one-way translating activity from English to Bahasa Indonesia,

the most difficult thing to understand the source language text is particularly not caused by the limited VOCABULARIES, but

often by their disabilities of grasping ‘THE MAIN IDEAS’ of the

text they read.

“Dalam istilah manajemen terkadang ada pengertian

pimpinan. Dan dalam pengertian pimpinan ada pemimpin dan yang

dipimpin. Namun untuk lebih jelasnya tentang apa yang

dikatakan manjemen, sehingga dapat diterapkan secara baik sesuai

dengan situasi masing-masing.”

The Distinctiveness of Adjectives

Ending with ‘-able’, namely the adjective derived from verb that means ‘possible to be’ : understandable, solvable, adorable, touchable, believable, etc.

It will oppositely mean negative if initiated by prefix ‘un’ to mean ‘impossible to be’, for example: unbelievable, unbearable, untouchable.

Ending with ‘ous’ : continuous, famous, serious, efficacious, curious, nervous.

Ending with ‘y’, ‘al’, and ‘ful’, namely the adjective derived from noun: funny, rainy, dusty, muddy, national, traditional, optional, factual, beautiful, successful, useful, truthful, etc.

The Distinctiveness of AdjectivesInitiated by ‘To Be’The host is open-hearted.We are satisfied.Don’t be lazy. (You are lazy.)

Initiated by Linking VerbJeny becomes rich.It smells nice.I feel so happy now.She got wet because of the heavy rain.

When it lies side by side with a noun in a compound word, adjective will always precede or lie in front of the noun, for examples:Demonstrative : this book, that man, those people, etc.Distributive : each side, every one, take either half, etc.Quantitative : some body, any time, many people, etc.Possessive : my opinion, your turn, his responsibility, etc.Qualitative : clever boy, dry season, fat man, red flower.Interrogative : which book is yours? What time is it now?

Some adjective don’t follow previous rules, they don’t lie before noun, but

after it, namely for those prefixed by a letter “a”, for example:

the stock available, those alike, etc.

You can’t say: afraid personavailable stockaware one, etc.

Many people think that English composition is contradictory in the form of writing form that of Indonesian language, whereas it is not, as both English and Indonesian language use the same concept of SPO pattern (Subject Predicate Objet). But only in compound word or compound noun (subject or object composed by more than one word), the adjective will always lie in front of a noun and the noun will oppositely lie after the adjective or at the end of the compound word.
