Translation
The Definition of Translation
If additional information is needed, in the form of the exact location and a hint as to the nature of the anomaly, then we have a second-order error. One of the most prominent definitions of translation is Newmark's, which defines translation as "representing the meaning of a text in another language in the way the author intended it to be".18 This definition emphasizes rendering of the meaning of the source language text into the target language text as intended by the author.
Process of Translation
Once the translator understands the meaning and structure of the source language text, they can capture the message of the content. The next step is to transfer the content, meaning and message of the source.
Procedures of Translation
Continuous re-evaluation of the experiment performed; comparing with existing available translations of the same text made by other translators and testing the communicative effectiveness of the text by asking target language readers to rate its accuracy and effectiveness and studying their reactions.23. Word-for-word translation: in which the word order of the source language is preserved and the words are translated individually with the most common meanings, out of context. Literal translation: in which the grammatical constructions of the source language are converted into their closest equivalents in the target language, and the lexical words are retranslated individually, out of context.
Faithful Translation: It attempts to produce the precise contextual meaning of the original within the constraints of the target language's grammatical structures. Semantic translation: it differs from 'faithful translation' only in that greater consideration must be given to the aesthetic value of the proto-language text. Free Translation: It produces the target language text without the style, form or content of the original.
Idiomatic translation: it reproduces the 'message' of the original but tends to distort the nuances of meaning by favoring colloquialisms and idioms where these do not exist in the original. Communicative translation: it tries to give the correct contextual meaning of the original in such a way that both the content and the language are easily acceptable and understandable to the readers.
Google Translate
The Definition of Google Translate
It was in the mid-eighties when the software giant IBM developed translation software tools. This means the internet users do not need to become a member or pay the cost to get a full service of google translate. It is also possible to enter searches in a source language that are first translated into a destination language, allowing the user to browse and interpret results from the selected destination language in the source language.
Most Indonesians who use google translate include the students, they have a reason why students use it because it is easy and faster to translate with google translate than using dictionary. Google Translator tends to produce grammatical errors because it only translates based on word for word. The existence of differences between grammar rules in English and those in Indonesian often makes grammatical mistakes when some sentences are translated word for word.
