Abstract

This research investigates the cultural implications that are practiced through the process of translation of the English subtitle of the movie Forrest Gump into Indonesian. In order to recognizing the film's rich cultural and historical contexts, the research aims to identify how cultural-specific items (CSIs) are translated and whether the translation leans towards a domesticating or foreignizing approach. By adopting the framework of CSI and translation procedures analysis, this research will highlight the key dialogue and scenes to uncover the translation strategies used by the translator. The results show that there is a positive but subtle shift between the original cultural references and the changes made to suit the Indonesian audience more. It is therefore paying a crucial role in the subtitle translation and it is hoped that this research will expand the knowledge of cross-cultural communication in AVT industry.
