Abstract

Translation is very important in today’s world of international communication since it is widely used to communicate knowledge, culture, and other social activities to those who do not understand the source texts. In this process, translation techniques and methods are needed to determine the translation ideology used by a translator. The translation method refers to the direction in which the translator wants to take his translation. The translation method influences how the micro-units of the text are translated. The chosen method also serves as a guide to translation methods and techniques, ensuring that all work together to produce a functional and acceptable translation to the intended reader. The analysis of the method of translating mechanical engineering terms from English into Indonesian uses a qualitative research design. Two hundred forty items of mechanical engineering terms were analyzed. The data analysis showed that the 240 terms investigated were translated in three translation methods, namely the literal translation method, the faithful translation method, and the semantic translation method.
