“…Intelligibility is the clarity or ease with which a reader can comprehend a translation. According to Yusof et al (2017), incompleteness is necessary for intelligibility. These requirements include readability, coherence, and completeness of thought.…”

This study aims to determine the quality of students in pre-editing academic text input to GNMT. The participants in this study were students of the English Language Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, the University of Mataram, who took the "Translation and Interpreting" course in semester five of the 2021/2022 Academic Year. This data was collected from assignments completed by 20 students. Supporting information is collected through observation by sitting while learning takes place. Data were analyzed using content analysis procedures such as identifying, categorizing, describing, and explaining. The results of this study indicate that almost all students have good quality results in pre-editing, but it could be better, and some students fail to pre-edit text. The pre-edited output looks like a revised version of the text. Pre-editing shows how the source text changes, especially in language structure, word choice, and punctuation. The good or bad quality of the GNMT translated text represents the student's ability in pre-editing the source text. Thus, the more effort is put into pre-editing the text context, the more likely it is to produce text with better translation quality by GNMT.

“…Intelligibility can be defined as clarity or the ease with which a reader can understand the translation (Yusof et al, 2017). Based on Yusof et al (2017) argued limited completeness is a condition to be considered intelligibility. These criteria include comprehensibility, coherence, and form.…”

This study aimed to find out students’ ability to conduct pre-editing on the text procedure inputs to Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT). The participants in this study were students of the English Education Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Mataram University that took “Translation and Interpreting” subject in the fourth semester in Academic Year 2021/2022. The data were collected from assignments completed by 26 students in class A. Supporting data were collected through observation during the class. The data were analyzed using content analysis procedures such as identifying, categorizing, describing, and explaining. The results of this study indicate that almost all students could conduct pre-editing, but not perfectly, and some students failed to conduct pre-editing on the text. The result of pre-editing looked like a revised version of text. The pre-editing shows how the source text changes especially in language structure, word choice, and punctuation. The ability of the students in conducting the pre-editing on the the source text is represented by the good or bad quality of translated text by GNMT. Thus, the more effort performed in the pre-editing of the text context, the more likely it is to generate text to be in better quality in translation by GNMT.

“…They are primary feature (intelligibility and accessibility / readability); and secondary feature (well-formedness, acceptability, idiomaticity, authenticity and contemporaneity). Intelligibility means the clarity of the translation that makes the readers comprehend it easily (Yusof, Aziz, & Darus, 2017).…”

A good quality of translation is known by assessing it. One way to assess translation product is by assessing the naturalness. This research aims at describing the naturalness of translation in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince novel into Indonesian version Harry Potter dan Pangeran Berdarah Campuran. This is a descriptive qualitative research. The data were sentences in the original novel and its Indonesian translation. The data were collected using content analysis technique and analyzed using Larson theory of naturalness in translation and supported by other theories. This research does not mean to judge the translator but it is intended to give contribution to the development of translation by analyzing the naturalness of the translation. The finding showed that there are four levels of naturalness found in the translation of the novel, such as (1) highly natural (171 data or 78.1 %), (2) natural (33 data or 15.1 %), (3) less natural (13 data or 5.9 %), and (4) unnatural (2 data or 0.9 %).
