MODULATION TECHNIQUE TRANSLATION OF THE MAIN CHARACTER’S UTTERANCES IN KUNG FU PANDA THE MOVIE
Abstract
This research aims to identify modulated translations of Kung Fu Panda (2008), especially in the main character dialogues. To achieve research objectives, the researcher uses qualitative descriptive techniques with case study methods. Based on the results of research made by the researcher, it was found that a number of translations used modulation techniques as a way of conveying a good message to the target language. This makes the researcher interested in discussing modulation translation in this study because there are actually many difficulties in creating subtitles. A subtitle maker is required to convey and translate a message from the source language into the target language within a limited duration and pay attention to its acceptability. The data collection and analysis stages the researcher carried out based on the theories of experts such as Molina & Albir, Vinay, and Darbelnet. It was found that 16 utterances were translated using modulation technique and fell into four types of modulation, namely Reversal of Terms, Concrete to Abstract, Changes in Symbolism, and Rethinking of Intervals and limits, and the type most frequently used was Reversal of Terms with 43,75%. In this movie, quite a lot of foreign terms are found, which are attempted to be translated into Indonesian terms without changing the content of the message to be conveyed in the movie.Keywords: language, modulation, movie, subtitling, translation.References
