“…In this particular example, the strategy of censorship could not be done by an MT. Moreover, the other text types such as poems and song lyrics, for instance, consisted of poetic languages which needed higher sensitivity level in providing meanings to the selected words (Handayani & Harto, 2015;Harto & Handayani, 2017), therefore, these may not be fully understood by translation machines (Vieira & Alonso, 2020). The text types and their indicators of quality (Schaler et al, 2003;in Quah, 2006) are presented in Figure 1.…”

Although post-editing of machine translation (PEMT) has been much discussed and spoken among students in higher education institutions, little empirical evidence has been reported regarding the students’ real practices in their academic life. To fill this practical gap, this article explores the students’ experiences in dealing with PEMT in a Theoretical Foundation of Translating and Interpreting (TFTI) course. This exploration elaborates practical insights into how the students initially started practicing translation through PEMT in their actual day-to-day practices. Fifty-eight English students studying in an undergraduate program in a prominent public university in Indonesia voluntarily participated in this qualitative case study. Data were collected from students’ focused-group discussion (FGD), survey questionnaire, in-depth interviews, and students’ documents and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings showed that post-editing process provides the students with experiences in building their text knowledge to enable them to have high awareness and sensitivity to the academic texts. In addition, in PEMT practices, the students’ experiences were explored through the implementation of translation methods and techniques expected to build their awareness in PEMT with regard to language structure and language function. These experiences have given some empirical inputs for the lecturers to design relevant tasks and apply various translating practices for students’ more meaningful learning.

“…There are many linguistics devices need to consider in its process. The result is strengthened by other researches (Fedyuchenko, 2018;Harto & Handayani, 2018;Saleh & Weda, 2018;Sukmaningrum & Hawa, 2021) that comes to the same conclusion.…”

“…Those challenges are mostly caused by the dynamic of poetry translation that involves many aspects in its process. The dynamics of poetry translation are described by Newmark, (1988) as follows: (Newmark, 1988) Furthermore, many translation experts (Baker, 2012;Bassnett, 2013;Carter, 2005;Larson, 1984;Newmark, 1988), state that a translator of literary works needs to have the Poetry translation has long been seen as an important issue among scholars and researchers (Awabdeh, 2014;Bednarova-Gibova, 2017;Burnshaw, S., Fitts, D. & Peyre, 1995;Fedyuchenko, 2018;Harto & Handayani, 2018;Rutherford, 2009;Saleh & Weda, 2018;Zarandona, 2002) who discussed the challenge of translating poetry.

This article drawn from the local tracking study of how college students perceive the process of translating poetry. The aim of this study is to investigate the students’ challenge in translating poetry. The current study based upon the benefit of understanding poetry to build harmony in the society. Writers used descriptive qualitative research as the design of this study. The subject of the study were the sixth semester students of English Education Department of Universitas PGRI Semarang who had passed the Translation 1 subject and join the Translation 2 at the present time. The population of this study was 143 students in sixth semester. Writers then chose 20 students as the sample of this study. Students were assigned to translate English poem entitled ‘Huesca’ into Indonesian. The poem was written by John Conford, an American soldier who was endured on World War. After the assignment project, they were asked to respond the questionnaire related to the process of translating the poem and problems encountered. The finding revealed that most of students admitted that their biggest problem in poetry translation is associated with the linguistic difference. It refers to grammatical differences (source language and target language), lexical choices and meaning ambiguity. There were many factors behind the problems that encounter students in translating the English poem into Indonesian. Factors related to the culture, the use of figurative language, and the different structure between original poem and the target language are considered as main hindrances in translating literary works. The educational implication of the study is that our students need to be familiarized with literary works and its process of translation. However, since this study was only held in 2 months and had limited participants, the result of the study cannot be generalized. Further research, therefore, need to conduct by other researcher in order to get broader insight toward the theme

“…In addition, three important aspects to maintain the quality and appropriateness of meaning, among others, are accuracy of expressions, adequate choice of words, and right sentence structures [12]. In the process of translating, Russi and Schneider remind translators to involve experts in glossary development, editing/revising processes, and proofreading steps.…”

This research seeks to investigate an Indonesian translators' perspective in grabbing translation orders and managing the translation deadlines agreed by both translators and clients. Seven competent and experienced translators were purposively selected to participate in this descriptive qualitative research. Data were obtained from a survey questionnaire administered to identify and describe the translators' orders grabbed from various translation clients and to elaborate on how they managed their deadlines. Interviews were also done to confirm the information provided by the translators and to search for some additional information not explicitly explored in the survey questionnaire. The results indicated that the translation orders were grabbed from book publishers, translation agencies, offices, multinational companies, translators' colleagues, and individuals. The translators showed some initiatives to collaborate with other competent and experienced translators to manage their translation deadlines. In addition, in some cases, the translators need to hire consultants and experts in the relevant topics to share their expertise to the translators to improve the quality of their translation. Then, the translators considered the importance of employing editors to review the overall translation, and proofreaders were also required by the translators to proofread the final draft of the manuscripts before they were sent back to their clients.
