Strategi Penerjemahan Istilah Budaya Bahasa Indonesia ke Bahasa Arab pada Buku Antologi Cerita Anak Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the translation strategies used for cultural terms from Indonesian into Arabic in Antologi Cerita Anak Indonesia. It focuses on how the translator preserves cultural meaning in the context of children's literature by applying the eight translation strategies proposed by Mona Baker (2011). The analysis also refers to the classification of cultural terms as outlined by Peter Newmark (1988). The findings show that in translating cultural terms from Indonesian to Arabic, the translator applied Baker's eight translation strategies. The implementation of these strategies reflects the translator’s efforts to balance the preservation of original cultural values with the readability and comprehensibility of the target text for Arabic-speaking readers. These findings highlight that translating children’s literature requires both cultural sensitivity and creativity in selecting appropriate strategies so that the cultural message and values are conveyed accurately and effectively.
