Abstract

Translating a language is not just moving from one language to another. Translation involves various elements that are not only elements of grammatical language but even more profound is semiotics. A translator must understand the semiotic process, including symbols and system signs, following the context surrounding a translated text. Equivalence in the translation process will be perfect when looking at the text textually and more at the context. The translation data in this study is a book called Rasail As-Safar, a collection of Arabic and English letters. The author also investigates the translation text using Halliday’s theory of meaning metafunction from the breadth of its interpersonal meaning variation. This study argues that the variation in interpersonal meaning in Rasail As-Safar is in the small category. It is said to be small because, based on the data produced, the differences in functional elements in Arabic text and English text are not many, and the interpersonal meaning between the two texts is not so high that the variation in the breadth of meaning produced is slight.
