Abstract

As the main purpose of translation, finding equivalence often presents problems to translators, especially student translators. Responding to such problems, this paper aims at finding out translation strategies employed by student translators in solving equivalence finding-related problems. This study used a descriptive method taking the English-into-Indonesian translation process done by student translators as the data. The data were collected using keylogging (Translog) and screen recording (Camtasia Studio 8) tools, and were analyzed using translation process technique of data analysis. The results indicate that the five strategies – naturalization, generalization, description, borrowing and deletion – used by the student translators in solving the equivalence finding-related problems are helpful for differently specific equivalence finding -related problems. Thus, it is concluded a certain strategy works better to solve a certain equivalence finding-related problem.
