Abstract

The study of translation has covered the equivalence and non-equivalence of the source text and the target text. Not only the meaning but also the culture of the source text should be taken as the consideration in translation to the target language. This study revealed the non-equivalence and the strategy employed of the translation of English text Harry Potter: the order of the phoenix to Indonesian language text by applying LFalligner and Antcon software. The study employed qualitative research applying content analysis. The researcher is as the primary instrument of data collection and analysis to provide a rich description of the phenomenon. The data were words, phrases, and sentences taken from the English text and Indonesian text of Harry Potter. The data were displayed and then verified using Baker (2011). The result revealed that non-equivalence occurred at word level in names of characters, places, and magical terms and above word level in idioms and fixed expression. Loan words were used as strategy aiming at educating and contributing to readers’ knowledge of other cultures and their naming and to show loyalty to the source author’s original style. TL has not the equivalence for the idioms of SL, thus idioms were translated lexically. The study suggests that the use of LFalligner and Antcon eased the finding and can be applied by the beginner translator.
