Refining Abstrak using Machine Translation

Tatan Tawami — 2021-09-08

This paper investigates steps in which abstrak of a paper may be well translated into abstract using particular computer aided tool, the machine translation. In analysing the steps mentioned, the narrative-descriptive method is implemented in order to specify the sequence of the steps. In the process, it turned out that there were at least 4 steps to perform in order to create a well translated abstrak into abstract. Four steps can be done in order to create one well-translated abstrak. Each steps requires systematic analysis in order to achieve correct and accurate translation. Finishing the steps mean the translated abstrak may require further action in order to achieve best result. By performing these systematic and step by step sequences, the abstrak can express your best thought, additionally, the steps can even be extended to the entire paper to achieve the accurate translation.

Topicalization Shift in the Bahasa Indonesia Subtitle of Stephen Hawking’s General Lecture

Chepi Nur Albar — 2021-09-08

One of the most important aspect that must be upheld in translation is readability for the audience of target language when watching a subtitled video. Due to a difference in culture and language systems, the translation may not exactly match the text or utterances of the source language word-for-word. One of the differences that are commonly found in subtitling is the difference of topicalization in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Departing from this problem, the aim of this research is to investigate the changes in topicalization from English to Bahasa Indonesia in subtitling. The method used descriptive-qualitative with a comparative approach. In addition, Observation and Literature Review techniques were used as primary and secondary data collection techniques. The case study for this research is a video of general lecture by Stephen Hawking. The results found that there are three texts that have different topicalization from their source language. These changes were made based on the guidelines of subtitling, which influenced the decision to change the topical element in the clause. In conclusion, topicalization is used to maintain and adapt the meaning contained in English and to keep the number of characters in each line from exceeding the limit on the number of characters. It is hoped that this research can be a reference for further research, as well as increase awareness that language shift is common in translation as a means to optimize the conveyance of meaning.

Artificial Intelligence Meet Language as Technology Advances in Translation Tools

Metha Alifa S — 2021-09-08

AI is a technology emulating the intellectual capabilities of the human brain, including the ability to communicate using specific languages. This study was aimed at exploring how the initial concept and development of AI and language can transform into a tool aiding humans in acquiring extensive knowledge, similar to current technology. To achieve this, the authors conducted a Narrative Review and Literature Study. The results of the study's Google Form survey on Artificial Intelligence showed that 89.5% of the respondents were aware of AI, while 10.5% of them were not. Additionally, 78.9% of the respondents preferred Google Translate as a translation tool, while 21.1% of them preferred UDictionary. Subsequently, 52.6% of the respondents frequently used the Translation Tool, whereas 47.4% of them rarely used it. Moreover, 15.8% of the respondents assumed a supplementary assumption of 50%, while 5.3%of them believed that 60% and 30% constituted the conclusion derived from the writings and surveys about the Artificial Intelligence Meet Language as Technology Advance in Translation Tools. It is concluded that the Translator Tool belongs to the category of AI machines, and AI translation results behave more like human translators than bilingual dictionaries
