The incomplete sentence strategy is used when the interpreter omits large units of the text in the target language. In this strategy, an interpreter expands on their understanding of the message, when the interpreter has difficulty in making the meaning of the source language equivalent to the target language. It is used when the interpreter explains or adds more information as a way to make the utterance better understood in the target language.
The translator thus wants to preserve the main important message conveyed by the speaker in the source language. In other words, Yuliana Tansil, as the translator skipped the word in order and only transmitted the source language of the first report. The translator skipped the words, only interpreted briefly by reducing some expressions in the target language.

This strategy arises because the interpreter had to keep the main point of the text, but still in the contextual meaning. Moreover, the interpreter maintained the goal of meaning in the source language without interrupting this meaning.
This happened because the interpreter found the meaning of a word or phrase in a location that was ke alamat still unacceptable for the context of the message in the source language. As for the reduction strategy, the interpreter preserves the main essence of the message in the target language. The interpreter therefore did not complete the sentence structure of the statement that the source language speaker uttered into the target language.
Thus, the translator condensed the meaning in the source language to be concise in the target language.

Proofing Tools in Microsoft Office Word 2019
The Application in Indonesian Language Arief Fiddienika
Tests on the developed instrument were tested on punctuation in Indonesian using the Boyer-Moore algorithm and it was concluded that the system could detect errors in the use of spaces between words and punctuation errors. To be able to conduct this study, the Indonesian language was first configured on the computer where Microsoft Office Word 2019 was being installed and used (Lambert, 2019; Lambert & Frye, 2015). In repeated form, this spell checker works without problems when the author does not insert a hyphen between words.
In the example, the proofreader doesn't give a red line because the author added hyphens between about words. The writing of the preposition in the Indonesian language is divided by the following words. The proofreading tool in Microsoft Office Word 2019 can also find the preposition in the Indonesian language.
In this example, this inspection tool can detect the prepositional error in the first sentence, namely the word 'didapur'. In addition, the system does not detect errors using the period that appears in the sentence. When using commas, the system cannot detect elements specified using commas (2a) and commas used to separate clauses that precede the parent clause (3a).
In the sentence b, c and d not a sentence with the correct order, but the proofreader does not detect these errors. The use of a minimum pair is intended to know the non-acceptance of words in the sentence being tested. By not accepting words in the sentence, the system is expected to detect errors in those sentences.
Therefore, the debugging tool works best only when errors occur at the word and reduplication levels.

One of its identities is represented by auxiliary verbs (Adejare, 2014) or modal operators in the context of the current study. Again, the study focused on examining the modality or modal operators in the discussion section. Third, the researchers dug into the clauses written in the discussion sections and then selected those that contained modal operators.
In addition, all the aforementioned modal operators were examined from all the clauses analyzed in the discussion sections. As indicated by the results above, the frequency of the high modal operators is less compared to the middle and low modal operators. Likewise, the low modal operators are also identified less compared to the others who do not employ the high modal operators.
With regard to the median modal operators, the results suggested that their number is not as large as the low modal operators. In the context of the current study, it can be assumed that the median modal operators are implemented to carry the meaning of 'probability' (Halliday, 1994). The use of low-modal operators in the data suggested that the statements made have little certainty (Halliday, 1994).
The above excerpt is just one of the examples, taken from LCC, that manifests the low modal operators. Third, there was a significant correlation between the implementation of low and high modal operators in the data evaluated. If the low modal operators are deployed more in the manuscript, then the existence of high modal operators will be less or even non-existent.
By doing this, students will gain knowledge of modality and the lexicogrammatical elements analyzed in clauses containing modal operators.
