Procedures of Translating Culture-Specific Item in the Book “The International Jew The World’s Foremost Problem”

This article discussed the Culture-Specific Item (CSI) in Henry Ford’s The International Jew The World’s Foremost Problem and its translation in Indonesian. The CSI is identified and extracted into 80 data which classified based on Newmark (1988) and Baker (1992) classification of cultural terms. All data are put in pair with its translation and analyzed using Davies’s (2003) procedures, in order to reach the aim to determine the procedures of CSI translation. In the end of this paper, I found that the translator used preservation (66,25%), addition (7,5%), omission (6,25%), globalization (3,75%), localization (8,75%), transformation (5%), and creation (2,5%). Also, it showed that the preservation procedures is dominated. Keywords: Translation, Culture-Specific Item (CSI), procedures, Davies DOI: 10.7176/JLLL/52-0
