This report describes (1) the activities that I have done during
conducting an internship at UNS Language Center for about two months
from 11th January to 04th March 2016; (2) the problems that I had
during conducting the internship; (3) and the solutions to solve
those problems.
The main activity that I did was translating clients’ documents of
UNS Language Center such as journal articles, abstracts,
certificates, family cards, resident identification cards, academic
transcripts, and formal letters. The next activities that I did
after I finished translating the documents were submitting the
translations of the documents to my internship supervisor by email,
and comparing the translations with the final translations edited by
my internship supervisor. The main problem that I had during
translating the documents was problem in translating difficult terms
on each document. The secondary problems were problem in making
format on each document and connecting to Wi-Fi connection. To solve
the main problem, I used online and off-line dictionaries such as
Cambridge dictionary, Merriam Webster dictionary, and Google
translate. Besides using online and off-line dictionaries, I used
techniques of translation, looked for parallel texts in Google,
asked or discussed with my internship supervisor, and looked for
other references in Google. The ways that I did to solve the
secondary problems were asking my internship partner, looking for
information in the Internet how to make format on each document, and
using the tethering from my hand phone to connect to the Internet
connection.
