Translating “Tania’s Monsoon Adventure” (A Children Book) by Kanika G from English into Indonesian

This final report is based on independent job training that was conducted on March 1 – April 1, 2022. The purpose of this job training is to translate a children’s book and apply the translation theories that have been learned during the lecture period. The children’s book, Tania’s Monsoon Adventure, was chosen because the story is very interesting and there is no Indonesian translation yet. From this story, there is a moral message that all problems can be solved and also teach readers to think creatively. Nine translation techniques were used in the translating process of this children’s book. The techniques were adaption, borrowing, description, amplification, transposition, reduction, literal translation, linguistic amplification, and compensation. The writer also applied four steps of translating. Those steps were analyzing the source language, transferring the message from the source language into the target language, restructuring the message in the target language, and revising and also evaluating the translation results. In the implementation of job training, the writer had several obstacles. The writer still lacked knowledge of the target language, there were some rigid translations, the writer discovered less effective sentences, and lack of translating experience. Therefore, the writer overcame these obstacles by doing consultations with supervisors and proofreader, doing more translation practice, and focusing on reading the story
