Abstract

Cultural terms translation has stolen many researchers’ attention lately. It is because of the difficulties and challenges in transferring a cultural word in one language to another. In what follows, an analysis on cultural terms translation will be tossed about. Specifically, this research will discuss the accuracy of cultural terms translation done by Instagram Translation Machine (ITM). According to Newmark (1988), there are 5 categories of cultural terms. One of them is dealing with ecology and environment, i.e. ecology cultural term. As a qualitative research, this paper will interpret the data based on the context (Santosa, 2014: 64). Therefore, some steps are taken to be able to interpret the data. First, researcher classifies the ecology terms found in the data. Then, the Indonesian ecology cultural terms will be compared with their target language reference. The next step is judging the translation accuracy and, finally, researcher will summarize the whole finding. The data are all taken from an Instagram account named @wwf_id. To judge the accuracy of the translation, researcher uses Nababan’s Translation Accuracy Assessment. The result shows that not accurate translation dominates the analysis on accuracy level which is, then, followed by less accurate and accurate translation respectively.
