Abstract

Translation has a vital role to access every literary work outside a certain language. A translator is required to have a broad insight to reach an adequate idea as the original. In this case, a perception equivalence of the readers of the source language and the target language is very important. This study used the novel Laskar Pelangi and its Japanese translation as the object of discussion and elaborated difference of cultural terms in original novel and Japanese novel version. This paper is expected to contribute ideas in translation studies, especially the translation of Indonesian into Japanese. This literary study used qualitative approaches with several steps, namely identifying several cultural terms highlighted in Laskar Pelangi and its Japanese translation, analyzing shifts in the translation of the elements, exploring issues in translating cultural terms, discussing several data, and concluding an implication. Translators of the novel Laskar Pelangi (Niji no Shounen Tachi) used various strategies to find equivalent of the cultural terms in the novel. However, the consistency of the translators in giving a foreignization is still felt since beginning to the end of the translation, which is necessary in developing the coherence of a text.
