Ideology In Translation Research Articles

Translation ideology analysis in the English and Indonesian subtitles of Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou. on Muse Youtube channels

Today, Muse YouTube channels are deemed to be the most prominent platforms for watching anime for people in many Asian countries, including Indonesia. Making use of the concept of Extralinguistic Culture-bound Reference (ECR) and seven translation strategies proposed by Pedersen, this quantitative research sought to identify the dominant translation ideologies of the English and Indonesian subtitles of the anime series Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou. on Muse Asia and Muse Indonesia and analyze the choices of translation strategies found in the subtitles of both languages. The Indonesian and English subtitles of thirteen episodes of Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou. were analyzed by two judges with expertise in Japanese, English and Indonesian. The judges agreed on 91% of the data and discussed the rest to reach an agreement. The results indicated that five among seven translation strategies offered by Pedersen were found in the subtitles, and both the Indonesian and English subtitles share the same dominant ideology: foreignization. In spite of the same dominant ideology, the two languages exhibited fundamental differences when it comes to rendering the ECRs. In addition, the research also drew an interpretive conclusion that also serves as a practical implication that the audiences' familiarity with Japanese culture, time and space's availability, and the guideline based on other factors outside of the field of translation were three reasonable components that had a part in the subtitling team's choices of strategies.

Explicitation and ideology in media translation: The case of MEMRI

This article describes some of the socio-political (ideological) factors affecting the use of explicitation. It explores how explicitations are utilized by a media organisation whose translations continue to construct a negative public image of a particular community. Drawing on critical discourse analysis and descriptive and functional models to translation studies, a corpus consisting of 26,000 words from Arabic-English translated news articles published by MEMRI was analyzed. The results reveal a strong tendency in explicitations to maintain the ideological perspective of the original at the micro-textual level, while promoting a religious and cultural Other at the macro-level. Instead of compromising its credibility by using misleading or inaccurate explicitations, MEMRI uses apparently accurate and faithful explicitations in translations strategically selected to accentuate an intended negative image. This casts light on the paradoxical function of explicitation in media translation: while it is assumed to reduce ambiguities and improve cultural understanding at the textual level, it may promote misunderstanding and cultural prejudice at a larger discourse level.

TRANSLATOR'S HABITUS AND TRANSLATION IDEOLOGY: TRANSLATING THE CONCEPT OF CAPITALS IN THE NOVEL BUMI MANUSIA BY PRAMOEDYA ANANTA TOER

This study examines the relationship between the translator's habitus and translation ideology in translating the concept of capitals that exists in the two main characters in the novel Bumi Manusia by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by taking a case study of two chapters in Bumi Manusia and its translation in English. The study found 30 expressions containing modals in the two main characters in chapters 5 and 7. The translation procedures carried out by the translator consist of standard translation (one datum), transference (15 data), modulation (four data), literal (six data), addition (one datum), contextual equivalence (two data), and paraphrasing (one datum). From Minke's character, there were 11 translations with the ideology of domestication and seven data of foreignization; and from Nyai Ontosoroh's character, only one expression that was translated domestically, and the other 11 data were foreignized. Therefore, 12 out of 30 data, i.e., 40%, were translated with domestication ideology, while 18 out of 30 data or 60% were translated with foreignization ideology. In conclusion, a translator's habitus influenced his way of translating which automatically directed his translation ideology.

The Study of Translation Ideology and Its Accuracy in Qur'anic Vocabulary for Women

Gender issues have garnered considerable attention from researchers, women's campaigners, and society at large. The perspectives held by individuals are grounded on cultural, religious, and ideological frameworks. The religious perspectives, such as those rooted in Islam, draw upon the Qur’an and its translation as primary source. The comprehension of translation is purportedly intricately linked to the underlying ideology that informs the translation process. This study aimed to offer a formulation of ideology that may be utilized to sustain the notion of gender as shown in the translated text. In order to accomplish this objective, an analysis was conducted on the translation of Quranic verses that encompass words pertaining to women, specifically al-umm, al-wālidah, az-zauj, al-'imra`ah, an-nisa`, an-niswah, and al-untsa, employing a series of steps. Those steps were examining the translation technique, identifying the underlying ideology associated with the technique, evaluating the accuracy of the conveyed meaning, engaging in a discussion, and formulating a conclusion. Moreover, this study included the cumulative sum of the seven terms amounted to 146 units, which were extracted from The Qur’an and Its Translation as published by the Ministry of Religion. The findings of this study indicate that gender concepts are translated in a literal manner. This approach demonstrates the adoption of the foreignization ideology in translation, which prioritizes the source language and the precise conveyance of its meaning. The utilization of the idea is further reinforced by the assertion that the seven terms are faithfully translated, except for the term imra'ah, which is rendered as wife, a translation that is deemed to be inaccurate.

The Translation Procedure of Pyschological Terms in the Interpretation of Dream into Indonesian in Tafsir Mimpi

Translation is a process of transfering meaning from source language to target language. As every language in this world are different, translation hold a very important role for universe. There are number of fields which are related to the translation works such as economic text, law text, religion text and also psychology text. Psychology is really necessary for mankind as it is connected to the human‟s behavior. The focus of the study is the psychological terms which is gotten from the book entitled The Interpretation Of Dreams and it‟s translation on the book entitled Tafsir Mimpi. The original book The Interpretation Of Dreams is writen by Sigmund Freud in 1900 and the translation book is translated by H. Supriyanto Abdullah (2015). In conducting this research, there are few theories will be applied such as translation procedures which is purposed by Vinay and Darbelnet (1959) and also Hatim and Munday (2004) which is about the ideology of translation. This study is qualitative research which will be supported by quantitave research when determine the ideology of translation. Product of the translation is the main focus of this research. Vinay and Darbelnet (1959) stated that there are seven procedures of translation. They are calque, literal, borrowing, transposition, modulation, equivalence and adaptation. Borrowing is divided into three kinds; pure borrowing, naturalization borrowing, and cultural borrowing. Apart from the procedures of translation, the ideology will also be analyzed. According to Hatim and Munday (2004), there are two types of translation ideology. They are domestication which is oriented to the target language text and another one is foreignization which is oriented to the souce language text.

The Change of One Translator's Style and Cognition: A Speech-act Report Verb Study of Allan Barr's Two Translations of Yu Hua's Works

This article aims to explore the changes in a translator’s style with time and translation practice. Allan Barr was selected as the research subject, considering that his five translations of famous writer Yu Hua's works lasted for 16 years. Instead of focusing on one translator's consistent stylistic features throughout all his or her translations by comparing their translations with others, this study demonstrated the shift of a translator’s style through the revised source-oriented model for the study of the style. A systematic analysis was conducted on the quantitative and qualitative data regarding the English translations for the most frequent speech-act report verbs collected from the parallel corpus. The self-established corpus comprises Barr's earlier translation of “Boy in the Twilight: Stories of the Hidden China” (Yu, 2014), which was completed in 2003. This was followed by his later translation for “The April 3rd Incident: Stories” (Yu, 2018), which was completed in 2018. Notably, Barr's understanding of style and translation ideology may change with time and translation practice, as indicated by the significant difference in the frequency of the speech-act report verbs with the same semantic meanings in ST and TT. This condition was also indicated through the distinguished motivations to change the semantic meaning of the speech-act verbs in the ST between Barr's earlier and subsequent translations. Subsequently, it was found that the method of corpus-based translator's style study can be applied to investigate how social and cognitive factors motivate a translator to change his or her translation ideology and strategies.

Translation Techniques of Culture Specific Items and Translation Ideology in Sarimin Webtoon

This research is an applied linguistic research in the translation field. The source chosen is an online comic or webtoon titled Sarimin by Nagaterbang. This research chooses Sarimin as the research subject because its theme heavily relies on Indonesian mysticism, making emphasis on several culturally specific items in the form of words, phrases, and sentences that are very hard to translate into English. There are three things studied in this research: (1) cultural terms in Sarimin, (2) translation techniques for the cultural terms, and (3) the translation ideology used in translating the cultural terms. The unit data are words, phrases, and sentences. The data are taken from the first season. The theoretical framework used in this analysis is the translation techniques from Molina and Albir (2002), Newmark's specific cultural terms (1988), and strategies of translation by Venuti (2001). From this study, it is found that the categories of cultural terms that appear most often are social culture with 39% with organizations, customs, and ideas items follows, not too far, with 35%. The study also found that the translator relied on adaptation which takes 41% of the items, and prioritizes domestication over foreignization. The analysis of the translation techniques reveals that many cultural elements cannot be translated as is and the chosen method may vary based on the context of the story. The findings highlight the need for translation guidelines to balance these two ideologies to preserve cultural richness while making the translation relatable to the target audience.

Resistance or Destruction? "The Hill We Climb" and the Role of Ideology in Translation

كثُرَ الحديث في الآونة الأخيرة عن التطورات التي طرأتْ على حقل دراسات الترجمة، وقد انشغل الباحثون بدراسة علاقة الترجمة بالأبعاد السياسية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية والمعرفية. ولم يحظَ البُعد الإيديولوجي باهتمامٍ كافٍ في الدرس الأكاديمي والبحثي إلا في الآونة الأخيرة بعد أن قفزت قضية "سياسة الترجمة" إلى السطح. وعليه، تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تتبع خطى الأيديولوجيا في الترجمة من خلال تسليط الضوء على أهمية الدور الذي مارسته فيها. وتندرج الدراسة ضمن المنهج الوصفي، وتتخذ من قصيدة "التلّة التي نصعد" للشاعرة الأمريكية أماندا غورمان نقطة لانطلاق البحث، تتقصّى فيها أثر الانقسام الحاد في أوساط المترجمين والمعنيين بالترجمة بين فريقين؛ أحدهما يرى في الأيديولوجيا وسيلة هدم، تُلحق الضرر بـ"سمعة" الترجمة إلى الحدّ الذي باتوا يُصرّحون فيه بنهاية الترجمة، وآخرٌ يرى فيها فعلُ مقاومة وإثبات وجود.

TRANSLATION IDEOLOGY ON MUALLAF NOVEL: VIEWED FROM PROCEDURE APPLIED

Muallaf novel contains many cultural terms and concepts that translator was faced with translation ideology, whether translator will maintain cultural concept of source text or adapt it to cultural concept of target text. This choice has implication for the application of translation procedures. This research was focused on two objectives, namely translation procedure used by translator and translation ideology chosen by translator. Researchers used qualitative research as the approach and descriptive qualitative as type of research. Primary data was Muallaf novel by John Michaelson and secondary data were some appropriate journals and related books. Data collecting technique used was documentation. Sample was gained from four subparts of novel. Data analysing technique used was data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. First research result indicated that there were 11 procedures used in translating the novel that categorized into foreignization (SL-oriented) including literal, borrowing and calque and other procedures that categorized into domestication (TL-oriented) including free, adaptation, transposition, description, modulation, reduction, amplification and word for word. The finding about procedures was then used to generate second research result which showed that translator applied foreignization and domestication to be carried out in translating novel. The results of this research can provide input and new insights for translators to combine two ideologies rather than to adopt one of two ideologies in order to produce translation that can still reflect cultural aspects of SL while on the other hand readers do not feel if what he is reading is a work of translation. Due to previous researches that use this novel as an object of study this research can add findings from different point of view. This research also become input for next researchers to study translation ideology to improve translation quality.

Ideology and Translation

Ideally, a translation should be faithful to the original message making the translator invisible; however, myriad factors come into play to reconstruct the text suiting the patronage agenda and thus put the translator into the visible mode as he/she rewrites the text. This article explores, in-depth, the concept of Ideology in translation. In other words, to what extent may Ideology impact the translator’s choices regarding what to add and/or omit and other strategies that, consequently, shape the receivers’ worldviews? Having in mind the importance of ideology and translational changes, myriad examples are provided within the theoretical and practical parts to scrutinize the existence of the manipulation within.

Research Review on Ideological factors in Public Diplomacy Discourse Translation

At the end of the 1980s, translation studies began to show a cultural turn, with the research focus shifted to the cultural origin of translation and exploring ideological factors in translation. While ideology in translation has at large been discussed in translation studies, little research has been conducted to examine the role of ideology in public diplomacy discourse translation. As a communicative tool, translation can bridge or divide the gap between two different worlds at the ideological level, which means that the translation involving discourse reconstruction can be indicative of the ideology of the translator. In public diplomacy discourse translation, the use of degree adverbials reflects the translator's ideological factors, including common knowledge of stereotypes, cognitive preference, assertions to others, and use of first-person-based (egocentric) concepts of spatial orientation and metaphorical extensions of those concepts. Therefore, this paper first provides an overview of theoretical frameworks about ideology in translation studies. Second, the review discusses the previous studies on public diplomacy discourse translation. Furthermore, it reviews the definition, functions, rating scale, and internal ideological factors of degree adverbials. This review finds that taking adverbs of degree as the research object to study the translation strategies in public diplomacy discourse translation is a worthy research direction, not only exploring how translators manipulate different translation strategies of degree adverbs to reconstruct different discourse effects but also can studying the ideological factors for different translation strategies by the translator.

UNFOLDING TRANSLATION STRATEGY AND IDEOLOGY IN LITERARY WORK

Translation has now become subject matter since its role as cross-culture and cross-language mediator. This research, then, aims to unfold the translation strategy and ideology reflected in literary work.

Ideology, patronage, and manipulation of translation in Zouxiang weilai congshu: With special reference to the translation and introduction of Max Weber

Cultural Studies helps us to see that translation is not merely a simple and isolated process but is intricately bound to ideology, patronage, and poetics. Through the study of translated texts, we can explore power relations, and this has the potential to reflect such power structures within a wider cultural context. This paper examines 走向未来丛书 (Zouxiang weilai congshu), literally “Toward the Future Book Series,” and focuses on its selection and introduction of western texts and its interaction with Chinese ideological trends, to explore the relationship between translation and politics in the 1980s, focusing on discussing the translation and introduction of Max Weber. Current studies of Max Weber largely focus on Weber's thought, while the few that touched upon translation in China were merely brief descriptions lacking deep analysis. Moreover, there have not been any papers which place Weber in historical and cultural context to explore the interaction between translation and politics. This paper employs a different approach where the focus is placed on the series' translation of Weber and the social ideology behind the translation. Not only does it unearth the influence of publishers' and patron's identities on the act of translation, but it also reflects on the role of the editorial board's unique mode of operation in the translation process. The case study of this paper not only focuses on diachronic translation activities, but is also concerned with the cultural space in which translation events occurs, translators' cultural objectives of translating, as well as foreign authors who enter the cultural context where the target language is used. By placing translated literature against a specific cultural time and space, this paper explains the cultural objectives and forms of literary translation, as well as translations that were specially made to achieve certain cultural objectives and the cultural effect of such translations.

The ideology behind the translation of an Islamic moral ethic book: A case study of Al-Ḥikam’s aphorisms

This research investigated the ideology behind the translation of an Islamic moral ethic book, i.e. Al-Hikam, from Arabic into English. Such ideology can be examined through a textual equivalence analysis, which focuses on the cultural form and information structure. In this regard, one of the subjects of focus is themes (old information) and rhemes (new information). However, previous studies on the information structure in Islamic religious texts are limited and they do not investigate the ideological aspects of the translation. Thus, this study focuses on three research questions: 1) What are the forms of the themes and rhemes in Al-Hikam’s Arabic-English aphorisms; 2) How are the translation techniques applied in such aphorisms; and 3) What is the relationship between the method and ideology behind the translation of such aphorisms? The data was collected using observations and focus group discussions with a professional translator. The findings, based on Spradley’s change theory and componential analysis, showed that there is a close relationship between the translation ideology, the translation method and the translation technique in this book. The results can be useful for developing an investigative model of ideology and cultural aspects based on the study of Islamic Sufism texts.
