 From 79 dubbing strategies that found in the Amazing World of Gumball

Episode 19 The Procrastinators, there are 22 data of paraphrase, 40 data of

transfer, 10 data imitation, 12 data of condensation, 2 data of decimation, 1 data of

dislocation, 1 data of resignation, 2 data of transcription, and 4 data of expansion.

The strategy which is not found is deletion. In the discussion, the researcher is

going to describe 1 – 3 data of each kinds of dubbing strategy.

2. Discussion

2.1 Paraphrase Strategy

The researcher found that there are 22 paraphrase strategy being used in the

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators, they are in the data no 2, 7, 12, 13, 18, 22, 24, 25, 30, 36, 39, 45,

47, 52, 56, 62, 68, 72, 76, 77, 79, 80. The examples of paraphrase in dubbing

strategy in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The Procrastinators are as

Data 24

Source Language: “Hold on, hold on. I have to moan about it on Elmore
Plus first.”

Target Language: “Tunggu, tunggu. Aku akan buat status di Elmore

Plus dulu.”

2
Analysis:

“I have to moan about it” which is being translateed as “Aku akan buat

status” can be classified as paraphrase because if the source language translates

literally, it says “aku akan mengeluh tentang itu”, yet the translator chose to use

his own word instead to translate it in order to be more acceptable to the target

audience.

Data 39

Source Language: “How do I look?”

Target Language: “Bagaimana penampilanku?”

Analysis:

The sample dialogue above can be classified as paraphrase because the phrase

“how do I look?” in source language which means “bagaimana aku terlihat?” but

it was translated into “bagaimana penampilanku?” The translator used his own

words to translate “do i look” without changing the meaning of the message.

Data 45

Source Language: “What are you doing?”

Target Language: “Sedang apa kau?”

Analysis:

“What are you doing?” which is being translated as “Sedang apa kau?” can

be classified as paraphrase because it was not translated literally, the translator

used his own words to translate the phrase instead without changing the meaning

of the message.

2.2 Transfer Strategy

The researcher found that there are 40 transfer strategy being used in the

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators, they are in the data no 1,3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 33,

34, 35, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, 50, 51, 54, 55, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 63, 68, 69,

some words from the source dialogue.

Data 55

mereka meledak!” Transfer strategy was used in this translation process since all

the words were translated.

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators, they are in the data no 4, 11, 24, 29, 32, 34, 36, 46, 47, 53, 57, 76.

language can be classified as imitation because “Gumball” is a name of a person,

therefore, the translator did not have to translate it.

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

classified as condensation because it was condensed to make the target language

shorter by missing unnecessary utterance, yet the message of the utterance was

still maintained.

2.5 Decimation Strategy

The researcher found that there are 2 decimation strategy being used in the

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators, they are in the data no 14 and 38. The examples of decimation in

dubbing strategy in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators are as follow:

Data 14

Source Language: “Fine! We'll show you that we're not prosthetic

actors.”

Target Language: “Baik! Kami bukanlah prostetik aktor”

Analysis:

“Fine! We’ll show you that we’re not prosthetic actors.” which is being

harus pergi. Sekarang!” can be classified as decimation because the characters

clash with the quick-talk and the utterances have trouble processing unstructured

written text easily, so the translator condenses the utterance.

2.6 Dislocation Strategy

The researcher found that there is 1 decimation strategy being used in the

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators, they are in the data no 34. The example of decimation in dubbing

strategy in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The Procrastinators is as

follow:

Data 34

Source Language: “What the what?! Dude, we were only on Elmore

Plus for a second and almost half an hour passed.”

there is a change of a source language into an acceptable target language yet

produce the same effect on the target language.

2.7 Resignation Strategy

The researcher found that there is 1 resignation strategy being used in the

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators, they are in the data no 16. The example of resignation in dubbing

strategy in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The Procrastinators is as

follow:

Data 16

Source Language: “Pawn investigators!”

Target Language: “Udakotraktar!”

Analysis:

Resignation strategy was used in the dialogue above because there is no

solution in the translation process so that lost its original significance.

2.8 Transcription Strategy

The researcher found that there are 2 transcription strategy being used in the

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators, they are in the data no 3 and 4. The examples of transcription in

10
dubbing strategy in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators are as follow:

Data 3

Source Language: “Procrastinator. Derived from the Mexican word.

"Procratalamacion" which means midnight

snack.”

“Astinatar” is a third language which was a Viking word that means puckered

cheeks.

2.9 Expansion Strategy

The researcher found that there are 4 expansion strategy being used in the

dubbing strategies found in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators, they are in the data no 11, 13, 21, and 25. The examples of

expansion in dubbing strategy in the Amazing World of Gumball Episode 19 The

Procrastinators are as follow:

Data 13

Source Language: “I'll be back at around five.”

Target Language: “Aku akan kembali sekitar jam lima.”

Analysis:

“I'll be back at around five.” which is being translated as “Aku akan kembali
