CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. The Background of the Study

Language is the tool used to connect people around the world and in communicate with people; we used some or even many languages. Language as a means of communication can be used not only for the transmission of informative messages but also to establish and maintained social relationships with others. If there were no language, there would be miscommunication, and humans would be difficult to interact to others.

Translation is the solution to avoid the misunderstanding between human and also to understanding the books or other materials or even the conferences as the supporting sources for the development of technology and science which are very important for all the people in the world. Many books and materials about technology and science are published; therefore it should be learned and understood by the people.

2

As many people know, there were a lot of languages in the world such as English, Japanese, Chinese, etc. Moreover, an international language has influence as one of the important aspects to master because almost all over countries around the world used international language to present their country, culture and many more. The statement means that people have to master English well. But for people, who never learn English, they need to translated books to know the meaning of a foreign word or phrase so that they are can understand easily the true meaning.

3

of culture-specific items among the most thorny issues that a translator or interpreter may face. In studying the language of a society or even a country, it is not a good idea to focus just on the language and the process of communication. Indeed there are other structures that can help to better in understand a country than a language. One of these structures can be regarded as culture. The issues are also important to those people who are going to teach or evaluate how to translate different texts or pieces of speech from language into another.

In addition, Sutarno (2013) also conducted research on The Translation Techniques, Methods and Ideology of The Art of War showed that the use of translation techniques and the selection of translation method tend to be based on the adoption of the ideology of foreignization. It contained important information and therefore the domestication ideology in translate the book gave the target competencies should be possessed by translator, they were language competence that translator have to produce a communicative translated text, textual competence to keep the original genre of the text and to avoid misunderstanding from the receiver on the text, subject competence to put the relevant domain from the subject from the SL to TL, cultural competence to make a easy adaptation

4

which is describing the ability to complete the transfer process from the SL to the TL.

There were also some factors should be considered by the translator in order to produce a good translation product. As Nababan (1999) states that there are two important factors in translation, they are linguistics factor that cover words, phrases, clauses and sentences; and non-linguistics factor that cover the cultural knowledge on both source and target language culture.

Every language in the world has its own characteristics. Therefore, when the source language and the target language are widely different in structure and cultural background, there cannot be an exact equivalent transfer of the source language into the target language. To overcome the differences in characteristics of these languages, translators are required to understand the structure of both the source and target languages. It can be said that translation is a complicated process encompassing both linguistic and non-linguistic problems.

5

The phenomenon of translation itself can be found in many aspects, for instance in poem, proverb, novel, song, TV serial for example Masked Rider

Black which is translated into Kesatria Baja Hitam and was dubbed to Bahasa

Indonesia to make the serial itself easy to understand for children. In this study, author focus on the translation in movie entitled Kung Fu Panda 3 especially in

“Grand Master Oogway’s dialogues”.

Film is a motion picture that also known as movie. It also in collective known as cinema that comes from word cinematic or moving picture. A film was created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera; by photographing, drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects.

Since the invasion of acculturation that done by western country, we can find many movies that use foreign language in cinemas, television and internet easily. The film-maker targeting Asia, especially Indonesia as one of the country with the biggest population as their market target. Film became the most effective media, because the combination of audio and visual on film which is make the audience easy to remember and not get bored because the interesting format on it.

6

There were two type film of translation, namely subtitle and dubbing. Subtitle is known as the written translation product of film translation. It can be found in form of written text in the bottom of the screen at the same time when audiences hear the dialogue. And dubbing is known as the spoken translation product of film translation. The process of dubbing is recording or replacing voices from the source language into target language.

In this study the author use Kung Fu Panda 3 movie as the reverence of study. Kung Fu Panda 3 is a 2016 3D American-Chinese computer-animated film which packaged in action-comedy genre and showing martial art in film, produced by DreamWorks Animation, and distributed by 20th Century Fox.

The film itself contain of many lesson that is related in our real-life. The film tells about a zero to hero story. Po, the common-fat panda that lives normally never given up to catch his dream, because the result never betrays the process. The film teaches us how to be responsible with every decision we choose, how the keep our solidarity and teaches us how must life goes on. The uncommon of selecting the main character is also making the audiences interested.

Panda which is identically known as the animal which moves so slow and spends almost his time to eat, become the main character that live with a hard willing in this film. The genre which combines an action with comedy making the storyline never bored, not only raise the adrenalin up but also very entertaining. So, in this study, the author will analyze the translation phenomenon in Kung fu
