This study deals with translation technique, ideologies and quality of the translated text of sea repast incantation from Malay language into English. There was 82 clauses of translated text as the data. The source of data is the utterances of a sea-handler and FGD. Descriptive qualitative was applied by using Molina and Albir’s theory to find out the translation techniques meanwhile the theory of Nababan & Machali used to figure out the quality of the translation. Considering the fact that the data which consists of four incantations are translated by five translators, then the results of their translation vary. From the analysis, it was found that there were 11 techniques of 18 applied with literal as the most dominant technique. Thereby the translators embraced foreignization ideology that mainly focuses on the source text. The utilization of foreignization ideology and the use of source language-oriented translation techniques showed that intercultural and thematic knowledge of the translators are insufficient. Since the frequency of literal technique was less than 25%, the quality of translated-text was regarded as ‘fair’.

“…The addition of the letter 's' at the end of the target word 'coconut' has made it clear that the plural function to 'coconuts' is the respondent's success in understanding grammar according to the questions asked in the test on the source language (Goncalves et.al., 2020). However, there is still one answer that does not translate Latin into English and there is a respondent who answers the test by writing the word 'kota' in the target language in English so that there is no connection with the question that makes it difficult to understand the translation result so that the accuracy, acceptability and readibility is not good (Nababan et al, 2012;Muchtar & Kembaren, 2018).…”

“…Furthermore, the mismatches between the research abstract text and the translation happened in the area of mode that need to be revised.
