Specific terms in relation to geographic names and expressions of different culture often make difficulties for translators of literary works especially novel. This article is an investigation-based work on the translation work of an English-published novel into Bahasa Indonesia. The research studied the terms and expressions available in the translation version used by the translators in translating the novel into Bahasa Indonesia version. Some theories were applied in the data analysis such as the related factors that, during the translation, help the translator finish his work which sometimes is identified as a very difficult work, especially during making decision which translation theory to refer to and to apply as well as to select which principle to convey. This is crucial due to whether the translators should urge the receptor expression or to keep the original thought of the source terms. In some terms, translation should be faithful in one hand and beautiful in other hand, should be literal to keep the original and be free to smoothly pass the message to the readership. The research then showed that the translation is sometimes smooth but broken in other places. The research finally emphasized the truth of never-lasting dichotomy of translation between the attempt to maintain the form or the struggle for the content. This had long been discussed not only in years but also decade by decade even in centuries.

Cultural Terms

The translation of cultural terms is considered one of the most difficult challenges a translator may face. This is due to the fact that such terms have specific meanings in the source language and culture which do not exists in others. In fact, translating cultural terms become more complicated when dealing with religious texts due to the sensitivity of these texts. One of the most challenging texts for translators is the Noble Qur’an. The translator of Qur’anic cultural terms is required to be very accurate as the mistranslation of such terms may lead to a complete distortion of the meaning. To help in producing equivalent translation for cultural terms, two translation strategies were suggested by Venuti in 1995. These strategies are domestication and foreignization. The present study investigates the use of both strategies by the translators of the Noble Qur’an in translating cultural terms. Also, it tries to find out which strategy can be applied to achieve equivalence in translation.

Nella traduzione di testi che riguardano tematiche ambientali dallo spagnolo all’italiano o viceversa, il traduttore spesso incontra termini che a prima vista possono sembrare equivalenti assoluti, come parque regional in spagnolo e parco regionale in italiano. Tuttavia, questi termini a volte possono dare luogo a errori di traduzione o problemi di interpretazione del testo di partenza, essendo il prodotto della cultura di origine e quindi diversi dal punto di vista sociale, politico e amministrativo. I traduttori devono quindi essere consapevoli delle differenze per evitare i tranelli linguistici che possono portare ad errori di interpretazione e di resa del testo di partenza nella lingua di arrivo. In questo articolo si presenta uno studio condotto su un corpus parallelo spagnolo-italiano composto di testi turistici sulla promozione delle aree naturali protette in Spagna, a cui si affianca l’analisi delle fonti normative nazionali, internazionali ed eurounitarie. Lo scopo dello studio è fornire una descrizione delle differenze e somiglianze a livello concettuale e terminologico nel settore della tutela ambientale, basata sull’analisi delle classificazioni e delle caratteristiche delle aree naturali protette. Nel materiale analizzato si individuano differenze e somiglianze tra i termini specifici delle due culture in esame, mentre la disamina delle traduzioni presenti nel corpus parallelo permette di identificare i principali problemi traduttivi ed eventuali errori di traduzione. Infine, i corpora comparabili monolingui e le fonti normative vengono considerati strumenti fondamentali che permettono di evitare errori traduttivi e selezionare le strategie traduttive più adeguate, come la domesticazione e la stranierizzazione (Venuti 1995) o l’espansione e la semplificazione, al fine di rendere più fruibili i testi tradotti e consentire sia ai destinatari della lingua di partenza che a quelli della lingua di arrivo di condividere se non proprio la stessa realtà concettuale, una realtà molto simile.   Abstract   In the process of translating Italian-Spanish environmental texts, translators frequently come across terms which at first glance might seem to be perfect translation equivalents, such as parque natural in Spanish and parco naturale in Italian, which can sometimes result in mistranslation and misinterpretation. These terms are embedded in cultures and, thus, different both from a social and a political perspective. Consequently, translators must be aware of these underlying differences so as to avoid possible pitfalls in interpreting the content and translating the texts correctly. This article presents a study carried out on a Spanish-Italian parallel corpus of tourist texts dealing with the promotion of protected natural areas in Spain, which is accompanied by an analysis of the legal sources at national, international and European levels. The purpose of the study is to provide a description of the differences and similarities at the conceptual and terminological levels in the specific field of environmental protection, based on the analysis of the characteristics and classifications of protected natural areas. The use of these resources will identify the differences and similarities between the specific terms of the two cultures examined (the Italian and Spanish), while the discussion of translations in Italian in the parallel corpus allows to highlight the major translation problems and potential translation errors. Finally, the use of the comparable monolingual corpora and the consultation of legal sources are seen as key tools that help translators to avoid errors and to select the most appropriate translation strategies, such as domestication or foreignization (Venuti 1995) and amplification or simplification in order to make the translated texts more accessible and allow both the recipients of the source language and those of the target language to share if not exactly the same conceptual reality, a very similar reality.   Resumen   En la traducción de textos sobre temas ambientales del español al italiano o vice versa, el traductor se enfrenta a menudo a términos que a primera vista pueden parecer equivalentes absolutos, como parque regional en español y parque regional en italiano. Sin embargo, estos términos a veces puede conducir a errores en la traducción o a una interpretación inadecuada en el texto meta debido a la relación del texto origen con la cultura origen. Por lo tanto, los traductores deben ser conscientes de estas diferencias entre la cultura origen y la meta a fin de evitar posibles errores de interpretación y transmitir correctamente el mensaje original. En este artículo se presenta un estudio llevado a cabo en un corpus paralelo español-italiano compuesto por textos turísticos relacionados con la promoción de las áreas naturales protegidas en España, junto con un análisis de las fuentes aplicables nacionales, internacionales y comunitarias. El propósito del estudio es proporcionar una descripción de las diferencias y similitudes en el plano conceptual y terminológico en el ámbito de la protección del medio ambiente, basado ​​en el análisis de las características y clasificaciones de las áreas naturales protegidas. En el material analizado se identifican similitudes y diferencias entre los términos específicos de las dos culturas en cuestión, mientras que el examen de las traducciones en el corpus paralelo se utiliza para identificar los principales problemas de traducción y errores de traducción. Finalmente, los corpus monolingües y la normativa al respecto se consideran herramientas fundamentales para evitar los errores de traducción y seleccionar las estrategias de traducción más apropiadas, tales como la domesticación y extranjerización (Venuti 1995) o la amplificación y la simplificación, con el fin de producir unos textos traducidos más accesibles y ofrecer tanto a los destinatarios de la lengua de origen como a los de la lengua meta una realidad compartida, si no exactamente la misma desde un punto de vista conceptual, sí muy similar.
