Domestication and Foreignization in the Translation of English Non-Material Cultures in “The World Is Flat” into Malay

Abstract

Translation strategies play a vital role in translating cultural items. Appropriate translation strategy used will ensure that the translation produced is understandable. The translation strategies used may incline towards domestication or foreignisation. This paper discusses the translation of 169 English non-material cultures in The World is Flat to Malay in light of the translation strategies used within the framework of Venuti's foreignisation and domestication strategies (1995). This study reveals that the translation of non-material cultures inclines more towards foreignisation than domestication.

“…Hal ini kerana terdapat perbezaan antara budaya bahasa sumber dan bahasa sasaran. Perbezaan budaya bahasa sumber dan bahasa sasaran boleh menyebabkan penterjemah berada dalam dilema kerana mesej teks sumber perlu dipindahkan dengan tepat ke dalam teks sasaran, tetapi dalam masa yang sama mungkin padanan dalam bahasa sasaran tidak ditemui (Husin, 2022). Hal ini bermakna, budaya sumber perlu difahami terlebih dahulu sebelum ia diterjemahkan menggunakan prosedur terjemahan yang sesuai.…”
