The researcher used Molina and Albir (2002) to analyze the translation techniques. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive method in analyzing the data source text in English, and the target text is Indonesia in news headlines. This research shows that three features of news headlines are found in BBC News: lexical features, grammatical features, and rhetorical features. This research found sixteen types of translation techniques: amplification-addition, amplification-explicitation, amplification-paraphrase, borrowing-pure, borrowing-naturalized, calque, compensation, discursive creation, established equivalent, generalization, literal translation, modulation, particularization, transportation-rank shift, partial reduction. From this research, the researcher argues that the use of translation techniques will create theories of a harmonious translation of news headlines.
