ABSTRACT

Windi Anisa Putri, 2021. Producing Bilingual Kris Caption and Writing Website Articles about Kris at Museum Keris Nusantara, English Diploma Program, Vocational School, Universitas Sebelas Maret.

This internship report was written based on the internship activities I did  at Museum Keris Nusantara, a long with problems that I faced during the internship and the method to deal with these problems. My internship at Museum Keris Nusantara started on February 15 and finished on April 15, 2022.  The main activity in Museum Keris Nusantara was to make bilingual kris caption or description including translating and editing the caption. The secondary activity was to write bilingual articles about kris for Museum Keris Nusantara’s website. Besides, I also had  the additional activity such as, making video content for Museum Keris Nusantara’s televisions, and taking care of kris or usually called as njamasi. I faced several obstacles during those activities. The obstacles were such as, there was no nearby wifi to use, a lot of difficult terms about kris, and complicated source texts. However, there were several ways that I used to face those obstacles. To face the wifi problem, I used my own internet connection from my mobile phone. To face the second problem about difficult terms, I looked into those difficult terms on the kris books provided by Museum Keris Nusantara’s Library or asked about those difficult terms to the kris conservator. To face the third problem about complicated source text, I discussed it with other students.
