×This research belongs to descriptive qualitative research in which the researcher tries to find out how the direct-speech translations in “Absen Natal” are classified based on the strategies applied by the translator and to find out the accuracy of those direct-speech translations.
The samples of this research are all the direct-speech in the form of declarative sentences consisting of one sentence, taken from the novel “Skipping Christmas” by John Grisham and its Indonesian translation. The primary data are the direct-speech sentences in the source text (ST) and their translation in the target text (TT). The secondary data are the result of the questionnaire given to three raters/ respondents to support the analysis of accuracy of the translation.
The result of the analysis shows that 90 data (70, 3%) are translated with adjustment, while 38 data (29,7%) are translated without adjustment. There are six (6) classifications related with the types of adjustment. Based on the analysis 8 data (6,25%) are adjusted by addition, 8 data (6,25%) are adjusted by subtraction, and 47 data (36, 72%) are adjusted by alteration. Meanwhile, 3 data (2,3%) undergo addition and subtraction, 10 data (7, 8%) undergo addition and alteration, and 12 data (9, 4%) undergo subtraction and alteration.
