Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji perbandingan lokalisasi takarir bahasa Indonesia dalam film The Greatest Showman (2017) dengan membandingkan Official Subtitle Translation (OTT) yang tersedia di Netflix dan Unofficial Subtitle Translation (UTT) yang diperoleh dari platform subtitle non-resmi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi unsur-unsur budaya, menganalisis teknik penerjemahan yang digunakan pada kedua versi takarir, serta mengkaji strategi penerjemahan yang tercermin dalam proses lokalisasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Analisis dilakukan berdasarkan kategori budaya Newmark (1988), teknik penerjemahan Molina dan Albir (2002), serta konsep domestication dan foreignization dari Venuti (1995/2017) dalam perspektif lokalisasi Jiménez-Crespo (2013). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua versi subtitle menerapkan berbagai teknik penerjemahan, dengan teknik penerjemahan harfiah (literal translation) sebagai teknik yang paling dominan. Kedua versi subtitle sama-sama didominasi oleh strategi domestikasi, namun subtitle tidak resmi merepresentasikan lokalisasi secara lebih menonjol melalui visibilitas penerjemah yang lebih tinggi, adaptasi budaya yang lebih kuat, serta pilihan penerjemahan yang lebih komunikatif. Sebaliknya, subtitle resmi lebih mengutamakan kesetiaan terhadap makna, kejelasan semantik, dan konsistensi terhadap teks sumber. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa lokalisasi dalam subtitling tidak hanya melibatkan pengalihan bahasa, tetapi juga adaptasi budaya untuk mempertahankan makna komunikatif dan meningkatkan pemahaman penonton. Secara keseluruhan, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan lokalisasi yang berbeda menghasilkan tingkat visibilitas penerjemah dan konstruksi makna yang berbeda bagi penonton Indonesia.***** This study investigates the comparison localization of Indonesian subtitles in The Greatest Showman (2017) by comparing the Official Subtitle Translation (OTT) available on Netflix and the Unofficial Subtitle Translation (UTT) from non-official subtitle platforms. The objectives of this study are to identify culture-specific elements, analyze the translation techniques used in both subtitle versions, and examine the translation strategies reflected in the localization process. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method. The analysis is based on Newmark’s (1988) cultural categories, Molina and Albir’s (2002) translation techniques, and Venuti’s (1995/2017) concepts of domestication and foreignization within the perspective of localization proposed by Jiménez-Crespo (2013). The findings indicate that both subtitle versions apply various translation techniques, with literal translation appearing most frequently. The findings indicate that both subtitle versions apply various translation techniques, with literal translation appearing most frequently. Both the official and unofficial subtitles predominantly employ domestication, although the unofficial subtitles demonstrate localization more prominently through greater translator visibility, stronger cultural adaptation, and more communicative translation choices. In contrast, the official subtitles primarily emphasize semantic fidelity, structural accuracy, and consistency with the source text. The study also reveals that localization in subtitling involves not only linguistic transfer but also cultural adaptation to maintain communicative meaning and improve audience comprehension. Overall, the findings demonstrate that different localization approaches produce different levels of translator visibility and meaning construction for Indonesian audiences.
