Abstract

Compensation is one of translation technique applied to overcome certain problems in translation process. Study on compensation technique was usually done on literary translation. However, it is worthy to note that in news translation, compensation is one of the most frequently used translation techniques. It triggers curiosity to know more about the use of compensation technique in news translation, and how it impacts translation quality. A study was carried out on the translation of international news in one of Indonesian news site. Data collecting technique was done through document analysis and focus group discussion. The results of the research showed that compensation used in news translation is compensation in place. From the analysis, it can be concluded that the technique of compensation was done deliberately for certain reasons, rather that adapting to the grammatical rules of the target language. The use of compensation gives bad impact on the quality of news translation since it caused some translation shifts which reduce the accuracy of the translation.
