While a growing body of research on translation strategy produced by novice translators have been undertaken by many scholars, there is a paucity of research on 'zina' and 'rafas' translation strategy from Arabic to Indonesian. To fill this lacuna, the present study aims to analyze novice translators strategy for rendering the words zina and rafas and why they used it. The present study adopted translation process research design and translation strategy theory proposed by Gambier (2010). The findings demonstrate that the meaning of adultery is not restricted to "sexual intercourse between a man and a woman who is not bound by a marriage contract", but also "female genitalia". Similarly, the word rafas refers to "intercourse," and also "making out" or "kissing." The novice translators discovered the meaning by employing the following four translation strategies:(1) searching and reading articles regarding the meaning of zina dan rafas through Publish or Perish dan Elicit Application, (2) downloading and reading multilingual dictionary, (3) downloading and reading monolingual dictionary, and (4) listening to lectures via YouTube. Convenience, language problems, and user satisfaction are tree factors that influence novice translator decisions to adopt the translation strategy. This study suggests that the meaning of the two words should be reviewed by utilizing annotation or addition translation techniques. Abstrak Meskipun penelitian tentang strategi penerjemahan oleh penerjemah pemula telah banyak didokumentasikan para sarjana, masih sedikit yang menganalisis strategi penerjemahan kata zina dan rafas dari bahasa Arab ke bahasa Indonesia. Untuk mengisi kesenjangan penelitian tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi penerjemahan kata zina dan rafas oleh penerjemah pemula dan mengapa mereka menggunakannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian proses penerjemahan dan teori strategi penerjemahan Gambier (2010). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kata zina tidak hanya bermakna 'perbuatan’ bersenggama antara laki-laki dan perempuan yang tidak terikat kontrak pernikahan' tetapi juga 'alat kelamin perempuan'. Demikian pula, kata rafas tidak hanya terbatas pada makna 'bersenggama', tetapi juga 'bercumbu rayu' dan 'berciuman'. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa ada empat strategi penerjemahan yang digunakan penerjemah pemula dalam mencari makna kedua kata tersebut, yaitu (1) melakukan navigasi dan membaca artikel tentang arti zina dan rafas melalui aplikasi Publish or Perish dan Elicit; (2) mengunduh dan membaca kamus multibahasa; (3) mengunduh dan membaca kamus satu bahasa; dan (4) mendengarkan ceramah melalui YouTube. Persoalan kemudahan, masalah bahasa, dan kepuasan pengguna merupakan tiga faktor penyebab mengapa strategi penerjemahan digunakan. Akhirnya, penelitian ini menyarankan untuk diadakan peninjauan ulang terhadap makna kedua kata tersebut dengan menggunakan teknik anotasi atau adisi.

The article discusses the development of the linguistic identity of a novice literary translator in the course of academic training. The authors claim that teaching literary translation presupposes creating an academic environment conducive to untapping the creative potential of translation students. The paper describes an experiment in which 30 Ukrainian translations of the prologue from Julia Franck’s novel “Die Mittagsfrau” executed by young translators were analysed. The outcomes of the research allowed for the identification of translation strategies and typical translation mistakes, and the dependence of translations on the translator's linguistic identity. The study proves the hypothesis that creativity comprises an indispensable component of the translator’s personal linguistic identity and can be developed in the course of professional training. This also allows the authors to highlight the factors that influence the formation of the translator's professional competence as well as outline perspectives for further research into think-aloud protocols provided both by experienced and novice translators.

The paper presents and analyses the outcomes of a survey study conducted with the participation of BA and MA students in a translation programme, aimed at gaining insight into the students’ views on translation theory usefulness. It was initially assumed that theory appreciation would develop along with growing translation experience, however, the nature of the predicted correlation appeared more complex. The author attempts to determine what factors may influence the observed interconnection and affect the subjects’ opinions.

Looking for a lexical or grammatical equivalence is a mental process which occurs in different layers of the mind. For the novice translator, who has not gained much experience, looking for equivalences and translation occurs in the first mental layer. Influenced by the translation of old texts, the novice translator learns to write down the meaning of every word under it. He is afraid of carefully delving into the meaning of the words, and writing down the different equivalences that come into his mind.This article seeks to find some methods and approaches to translate a text fluently while maintaining accuracy. The goal of this paper is to wipe out the complexities and uncertainties that formerly overrode the translated texts so that the readers of the translation experience the same joy and entertainment that the readers of the original text experience. The overall objective of the suggested methods for finding equivalents is to decrease the dominance of the original text over the reader to the least possible degree.
