- Abstract
This paper attempts to investigate why there are many additions and deletions of information in the translated text of Negeri 5 Menara. This paper applies a descriptive qualitative method. This method describes and explains the phenomenon or events in the social world. The objects of this research are the novel of Negeri 5 Menara and its translation. The data is collected by taking notes of the added and deleted information in the target text. Then the writer found out the problems that cause the translator to add and delete the information, and what procedures the translator applied to solve the problem. The data were analysed using Newmark’s theoretical framework. The finding shows that the translator has added the information mostly in cultural and religious terms; the translator also tends to delete the information related to cultural words and the name of the important Indonesian and Islamic figures. It can be concluded that the addition in the target text is considered a good decision, since it helps the readers understand the text and make the text more readable. On the other hand, the deletion reduced the information intended by the author. It would be better if the translator considered to still give the information in a way that makes the readers understand the text instead of deleting the whole information.
