This research aims to describe: (1) the March 2015 National Geographic article Fleeing Terror, Finding Refuge and its March 2015 National Geographic Indonesia Indonesian translation Mencari Tempat Berlindung’s thematic structure and progression, (2) the translation techniques employed and its effect on the translation’s thematic structure and progression, and (3) its effect on the translation quality. This study belongs to the qualitative research at the descriptive level, employs embedded case study approach, and focuses on the translation product. The data consist of the Themes of the National Geographic Maret 2015 article Fleeing Terror, Finding Refuge and its National Geographic Indonesia Maret 2015 Indonesian translation Mencari Tempat Berlindung collected through content analysis and the result of the informant’s translation quality assessment collected through questionnaire and focus group discussion. This study revealed that the translation employs more marked Topical Theme than the source text and the percentage of the translation’s Rheme-based progressions (the simple linear and split Rheme progression) is higher than the source text’s. The thematic structure shifts—mostly a shift from the unmarked to the marked Topical Theme and vice-versa or a change in the Topical Theme constituent—can be caused by the use of these six translation techniques: transposition, modulation, reduction, amplification, established equivalent, and particularization. Of these six, particularization does not cause any Thematic progression shift. These six techniques that can cause a shift in the Thematic structure can also decrease the translation’s quality.

The first four pairs are in the same type of speech act whereas the last three pairs have different types of speech acts between SL and TL utterances. Those pairs with the same type of speech act are mostly translated accurately while those pairs with different type of speech act are translated less accurately and inaccurately.

It is not easy to translate the utterances containing flouting maxim quality. The translators should pay more attention in spotting the implied message hidden in it. Therefore, it is important for the translators to consider which translation technique should be applied so that the sense of flouting maxim quality in source text could be deliverd exactly the same in target text. This is descriptive qualitative research with embedded case study. The object of this research is Me Before You novel by Jojo Moyes. In collecting the data, three methods were used; content analysis and focus group discussion (FGD). The data are utterances of all the characters in the plot containing flouting maxim of quality. The assessment of translation quality was obtained from raters and respondents. The results show that the there are 7 strategies used to flouts maxim of quality. They are in form of sarcasm, irony, hyperbole, untrue statement, rhetorical questions, metaphor and simile. The strategy shifts are in the form of (1) sarcasm; sarcasm-statement, sarcasm-sarcasm (downgrading), (2) irony; irony-irony (upgrading), irony-irony (downgrading), (3) hyperbole; hyperbole-hyperbole (downgrading), hyperbole-statement, (4) simile; simile-simile (downgrading), (5) metaphor; metaphor-metaphor (downgrading), while there are no shift in rhetorical question and untrue statement. From the analysis, it is found that 14 translation techniques used by the translator in translating the text, namely, established equivalent, variation, modulation, borrowing (pure borrowing), amplification (explicit), transposition, amplification (addition), reduction, generalization, literal, discursive creation, particularization and description. Established equivalent gives positive effect on translation quality. In the other hand, amplification (addition), discursive creation and literal techniques are known to have negative effect on translation quality.
