“…Apart from the similar function it is made, the notion explicitation is attached to various translation tools covering: translation strategy, as it is found in a journal article discussing the definition of explicitness and implicitness towards a theoretical foundation (De Metsenaere & Vandepitte, 2017); then translation procedure as it is found also in a journal article about legal translation from Spanish source language text into Danish target language text (Vesterager, 2017); also translation method as found in a journal article about a case of screen translation (Moghaddam, 2017); the last is translation technique as found in the journal article about the review of both principles and procedures of explicitation as translation universal (Hawamdeh & Alzu'bi, 2020). It is not automatically confirmed that explicitation is officially called a translation procedure as firstly introduced by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995).…”

This research article is about the use of translation strategy namely explicitation in the translation of a novel from Indonesian into English. The data source is an Indonesian novel entitled Lelaki Harimau written by Eka Kurniawan and its English translation, Man Tiger as the data source. The translation of a novel from Indonesian into English may not as many as the translation work from English into Indonesian. The novel creates commands and critics regarding its content as well as its language use. It is interesting to see how Indonesian culture reflected in the novel is presented in English through translation. The translator tries to do his best to provide equal information in the target language text as given in the source language text. The uniqueness in the source language text needs a hard work to do in delivering the closest natural equivalent in the target language text. Untranslatability is no longer issue as there are strategies of translation that can be applied, one of them is explicitation. The explicitation strategy used is the one proposed by Klaudy. Using descriptive qualitative method, this research is aimed at revealing the kind of information being explicitated, the forms of explicitation used, and the semantic information of the words explicitated. The results show that the kind of information is both cultural and non-cultural, and the forms of explicitation identified are all five of them and semantically all the words being explicitated become clearer, specific, and more informative
