Description
Summary:Cultural translation is a holistic process. The analysis of this process demands a critique that is similarly holistic which proposes that a translation can be examined from the perspectives of translators, documents, and readers. The present study purposes to demonstrate that this three-part critique is crucially interrelated in the English translation of Madurese cultural texts. To do this, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and questionnaire distribution were applied. The results reveal the translators' competence of translation processes in practice and the readers' responses regarding work of translation play a significant role in the performance of the translation task of Madurese cultural texts.
