Yasida Fathona Zahra, 2026. Creating Bilingual Promotional Video for the Culture and Tourism Office. English Diploma Program, Vocational School, Universitas Sebelas Maret. The internship report details my internship at the Office of Culture and Tourism of Surakarta from January 12 to March 6, 2026. This program is one of the graduation requirements for the English Diploma Program. The main activity was creating a bilingual tourism promotional video with Indonesian subtitles, making it accessible to both domestic and international audiences. The video was titled Moments of Chinese New Year Solo 2026. I did all the production processes, including drafting the script, creating the storyboard, taking footage, editing footage clips, writing the voice-over script, translating the voice-over script, the voice-over process, synchronizing audio, the subtitling process, adding background music, and final review. During the translation of the voice-over script, I applied the three stages proposed by Nida and Taber (1982): analysis, transfer, and restructuring. To address the translation of culture-specific terms related to the celebration, I also applied several translation techniques from Molina and Albir (2002) to produce translations that were accurate, natural, and culturally appropriate. The final tourism promotional video can be used by the Office of Culture and Tourism of Surakarta to promote one of the city's cultural attractions to wider audiences. In addition to completing the main activity, the internship also involved supporting administrative and public service tasks. The experience also strengthened my competencies in translation, audiovisual production, communication, teamwork, and professional responsibility while allowing me to apply academic knowledge in a professional working environment.
