Abstract

This study attempts to identify strategies and procedures of translating culture-bound texts in translation classroom. The study is conducted in the English department, College of Foreign Languages (STIBA) Saraswati Denpasar in Bali, particularly in the translation class that is offered with four credits divided into English-Indonesian translation and vice versa with two credits each. The result of the identification is expected to be used as a model of translation practice and be useful for the students to enhance their knowledge. Related to the culture where this study is conducted, the terms showing Balinese culture, tradition and rituals like menyama braya (brotherhood), ngayah (mutual help), ngaben (cremation ceremony), setra (cemetery) and metatah (tooth filing) challenge the students to apply appropriate strategies and to order the steps in finding out the correct expression and meaning of the cultural terms. Thus, the study results in the mapping of strategies reflecting the techniques that can be utilized by the English department students to translate culture-bound texts. Meanwhile, procedures refer to the appropriate approaches that are possibly applied in transferring the meaning of the cultural terms found in the texts
