Resumen: Los ordenamientos jurídicos, a pesar de que puedan pertenecer al mismo tronco común, como es el caso de Francia y España, son propios de cada país y, por ende, distintos al resto de ordenamientos de otros países. Esto da lugar en traducción a un anisomorfismo cultural. El traductor debe ser consciente de ello para no caer en errores de traducción que van a imposibilitar la comprensión del lector de la lengua meta. Conviene saber que, en traducción jurídica, no se traduce una realidad cultural por otra, sino que se tiene que manifestar en la lengua meta la realidad cultural de la lengua origen. Esto se presenta como un reto para el traductor, quien deberá contar con unos amplios conocimientos culturales de ambos países y una capacidad de documentación adecuada. Por eso, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo poner de relieve la importancia de los conocimientos culturales en traducción y, más concretamente, en traducción jurídica a través del análisis de una serie de términos que provienen de la rama jurídico-penal. En dicho análisis, encontraremos la explicación del concepto de la lengua origen, el contexto, la propuesta (o propuestas de traducción), la técnica de traducción que hemos empleado, así como comentarios en los que explicamos sus problemas de traducción y su anisomorfismo cultural.Palabras clave: anisomorfismo cultural, realidades culturales, técnicas de traducción, traducción jurídica, terminología penal. Abstract: The legal systems, even if they may belong to the same branche of law, as is the case in France and Spain, are specific in each country and, therefore, different from the rest of the legal systems of other countries. This results in translation to a cultural anisomorphism. The translator must be aware of this in order not to fall into translation errors that will make it impossible for the reader to understand the text in the target language. It is important to know that, in legal translation, one cultural reality is not translated by another, but that the cultural reality of the source language must be expressed in the target language. This is presented as a challenge for the translator, who must have extensive cultural knowledge of both countries and an adequate documentation capacity. Therefore, this study aims to highlight the importance of cultural knowledge in translation and, more specifically, in legal translation through the analysis of a series of terms that come from the legal-criminal branch. In this analysis, we will find the explanation of the concept of the source language, the context, the proposal (or translation proposals), the translation technique we have used, as well as comments in which we explain their translation problems and their cultural anisomorphism.Keywords: cultural anisomorphism, cultural realities, translation techniques, legal translation, criminal terminology.

This qualitative research is about material process and technique of translation in Donald Trump’s inauguration speech text. The data source is Donald Trump’s inauguration speech text and the research data are in the form of clauses that contain material processes in inauguration speech of Donald Trump. The researcher used the theory proposed by Spradley (1998) in analyzing the data. The research was conducted by accomodating two theories: the theory of material process proposed by Halliday (2004) and the theory of translation techniques proposed by Molina and Albir (2002).

The use of literal translation technique is dominant than other techniques in this research. The researcher found 94 data that contains literal translation technique in the research findings where type of doing 67 and happening 27.  Besides, the less of translation techniques used are borrowing, reduction, and linguistic amplification with one data. Literal technique is the most frequent because  this technique does not distort meanings in the source language; thus, the meanings can be conveyed into the readers in target language well.

Despite the work of Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson (1989), the concept of relevance has not enjoyed the popularity it deserved among translators as it appears to be more productive in information science and sociology than in translation studies. The theory of relevance provides underpinnings of a unified account of translation proposed by Ernst-August Gutt. However, if the concept of relevance should take into account all parameters of legal translation, the approach should be pragmatic and not cognitive: The aim of a relevant translation is to produce a legal text in the target language which appears relevant to the lawyer in the target legal system, namely a text that can be used in the same way as the original source text. The legal translator works as a facilitator from one legal system into another and relevance is the core of this pragmatic approach which requires translation techniques like adaptation rather than through-translation or calque (in the terminology of Delisle/Lee-Jahnk/Cormier 1999). This contribution tries to show that relevance theory, which was developed in the field of sociology by Alfred Schütz, could also be applied to translation theory with the aim of producing a correct translation in a concrete situation. Some examples extracted from one year of the practice of an expert law translator (German-French) at the Court of Appeal in the Alsace region illustrate our claim and underpin an approach of legal translation and its heuristics that is both pragmatic and reflexive.

Mantra Jamuan Laut is spells or words used by a sea-handler in the process of Ritual Ceremony among Malay society in Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai, North Sumatra - Indonesia. This study deals with translation technique, ideologies and quality of the translated text of sea repast incantation from Malay language into English. There was 82 clauses of translated text as the data. The source of data is the utterances of a sea-handler and FGD. Descriptive qualitative was applied by using Molina and Albir’s theory to find out the translation techniques meanwhile the theory of Nababan & Machali used to figure out the quality of the translation. Considering the fact that the data which consists of four incantations are translated by five translators, then the results of their translation vary. From the analysis, it was found that there were 11 techniques of 18 applied with literal as the most dominant technique. Thereby the translators embraced foreignization ideology that mainly focuses on the source text. The utilization of foreignization ideology and the use of source language-oriented translation techniques showed that intercultural and thematic knowledge of the translators are insufficient. Since the frequency of literal technique was less than 25%, the quality of translated-text was regarded as ‘fair’.

The purpose of conducting this study is to identify and handle the problems arising from translating conversational words and phrases rooted in culture from English into Kurdish and vice versa. To achieve the objectives of the current research, source language conversational texts associated with greetings, politeness terms, kinship terms, address terms and words and phrases used on different occasions are translated into their counterparts in the target language. The results obtained from the translations show that translating cultural concepts is problematic and burdensome, and the problems identified result from cultural differences between the two languages and from literal translation which often leads to unnatural and incomprehensible expressions although this technique is used to borrow a source language expression. The results also indicate that translating culturally-bound conversational words and phrases requires good knowledge and mastery of both languages and cultures and proper use of various translation techniques. This research paper is an attempt to identify the problems that arise in translating culturally-specific conversational words and phrases from English into Kurdish and vice versa. It also aims to find out effective ways of overcoming the problem through implementing appropriate techniques for translating culturally-loaded words and phrases associated with greetings, terms of address, politeness terms, family relationship, in both languages.
