- Abstract
Writing a quality abstract is important because abstract is a factor that determine whether a paper is worth to read or not. For researchers or students whose first language is not English, translation techniques must be taken into consideration as well, especially if they aim for international publication. Various studies related to translation techniques have been done previously, but not many analysed abstracts, especially from undergraduate students’ theses that were written in two languages. Therefore, this study aims to analyse translation strategies of abstracts from English Language and Literature and Indonesian Language and Literature students of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. A total of 30 English and Indonesian abstracts along with the translations were taken from UPI’s online repository to be analysed using Molina and Albir’s (2002) translation techniques. From the analysis, it is shown that the translation technique that was used the most in abstracts from both study programs was Literal Translation, followed by Borrowing. However, 11 translation techniques are identified in abstract written by English Literature students, while only nine are identified from Indonesian Literature students’ abstracts. The findings show that despite writing in different languages, students from both study program used similar translation techniques to translate their abstracts.
