Fenomena lesbian, gay, biseksual, dan
transgender (LGBT) kembali menjadi
perbincangan hangat di Indonesia terutama
juga di Sumbar. Berdasarkan survei tentang
keberadaan LGBT pada akhir 2017 yang dirilis
Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah
Sumbar dan lembaga konseling rekanan survei
menunjukan bahwa LGBT di Sumbar berada
di peringkat nomer wahid secara nasional.
hasil survey ini sontak membuat pihak
pemerintah daerah, ulama dan pemangku adat
di Minangkabau kebakaran jenggot. Apalagi
disinyalir LGBT juga bersarang di beberapa
kampus yang terletak di ranah Minang dengan
falsafah Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi
Kitabullah. Baru-baru ini masyarakat civitas
akademika dibuat panas dingin dengan
aktivitas sekelompok mahasiswa dan alumni
sebuah perguruan tinggi ternama di Indonesia
yang menamakan diri Support Group and
Resource Center On Sexuality Studies (SGRC)
yang mendukung keberadaan LGBT. Untuk
merespons hal tersebut, M Nasir selaku
Menteri Riset Teknologi dan Pendidikan
Tinggi (Menristek Dikti) menegaskan LGBT
tidak boleh masuk kampus. Keberadaan
kelompok LGBT bisa merusak moral bangsa,
dan kampus sebagai garda terdepan penjaga
moral semestinya harus bisa menjaga nilai-
nilai susila dan nilai luhur sebagai bangsa
Indonesia. UNP sebagai pencetak intelektual
masa depan dengan motto “Alam Takambang
Jadi Guru” harus memberikan contoh kepada
masyarakat umum. Jika keberadaan LGBT
terdapat dan berkembang di kampus, maka
LGBT ini akan berpotensi menyebar menjadi
penyakit masyarakat dan mewabah masyarakat
luas. Maka, pemikiran pencegahan dan solusi
perkembangan LGBT di kampus merupakan
keniscayaan.
The phenomenon of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) becomes a hot topic in
Indonesia, especially in West Sumatra. Based
on a survey, at the end of 2017 which released
by Regional Development Planning Agency
and a survey counseling agency in West
Sumatra showed that nationally, LGBT was
ranked first in West Sumatra. The results of
this survey immediately made the local
government, clerics and custom practitioners in
Minangkabau confuse and panic. In addition,
LGBT is also assumed found in several
campuses around Minang in which the
philosophy is Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak
Basandi Kitabullah. Lately, the academic
community had bad tempered with the activity
of a group of students and alumni of a well-
known university in Indonesia named
themselves the Support Group and Resource
Center on Sexuality Studies (SGRC) which
supported the existence of LGBT. In
accordance to this, M Nasir as Minister of
Research in Technology and Higher Education
asserted that LGBT community could not enter
any campus. The existence of LGBT
community can damage the morale of the
nation, and the campus as the front guard
moral should be able to maintain moral values
and noble values as the nation of Indonesia.
UNP creates the future-intellectual people with
the motto "Alam Takambang Jadi Guru" must
give a role model to the public. If the presence
of LGBT exists and develops on campus, then
LGBT will potentially spread into wide
society. Finally, prevention planning and
solution for LGBT development in campus
would be unworkable.
In translating this article, I generally used free translation method and idiomatic translation
method. The reason in using these methods are; first, because it is emphasizing more on the
transfer of messages, while the disclosure in TS is carried out in accordance with the needs of
prospective readers. Another reason is what Newmark stated (1988: 47) : idiomatic translation
reproduces messages in TL text with expressions that are more natural and familiar than SL text.
The result of translation can be seen from the sentence below:

SL : Baru-baru ini masyarakat civitas akademika dibuat panas dingin dengan aktivitas
sekelompok mahasiswa dan alumni sebuah perguruan tinggi ternama di Indonesia yang
menamakan diri Support Group and Resource Center On Sexuality Studies (SGRC) yang
mendukung keberadaan LGBT.
TL : Lately, the academic community had bad tempered with the activity of a group of students
and alumni of a well-known university in Indonesia named themselves the Support Group and
Resource Center on Sexuality Studies (SGRC) which supported the existence of LGBT.

SL : Hasil survey ini sontak membuat pihak pemerintah daerah, ulama dan pemangku adat di
Minangkabau kebakaran jenggot.
TL : The results of this survey immediately made the local government, clerics and custom

SL : Maka, pemikiran pencegahan dan solusi perkembangan LGBT di kampus merupakan

 2. Find the cultural words in the following text, explain how the translator translates them
into the target language, give your opinion about the translation results in the target
language whether the technique used is appropriate or not, what are your suggestions

Culture Words Method Used Suggested Method Explanation

Pacu Itiak Payakumbuh, Faithful Faithful To maintain the
lemang tapai, pancung translation translation contextual
cake, Mudiak, Aur method method meaning and the
Kuning, Tigo Balai, authenticity of
Padang Cubadak, West Sumatra
Kubang Putih, Padang culture in TL.
Alai.
In other cases, there are some words that I think the translation is not really appropriate
such as: Katan banana, Guguak High, Water body. This word used communicative
translation method because this method allows a SL version to be translated into several
versions in TL while the context of this word is to maintain the authenticity of West Sumatra
culture, so the appropriate method used in translating the words is faithful translation
method. Now, let us see another word, I found that there is unconsistency in the word; SL:
Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota, then sometimes it becomes Kabupaten Fifty Cities, sometimes
becomes Lima Puluh Kota Regency. Based on my point of view, name of place souldn’t be
translated into TL, so the appropriate method in translating this word is faithful translation
method then it becomes The Regency of Lima Puluh.

First Day in Kindergarten

Today is the first day for John to attend school in kindergarten. Even though he was old enough
to go to school, the habit of John, who rarely socialized with children of his age, made John a
child who was a little introverted and had difficulty getting along with people he just knew.
Accompanied by his father to the classroom door finally with a heavy step John entered the
class. Even though the teacher is very good, Ms. Sally She has such a bubbly personality but
for John the classroom was a zoo. It turned out that the children who attended school consisted
of various ethnicities and their behavior was also rude. That day after lunch a child grabbed
John's food, his tears were a river flowing down her cheeks. John really hoped that he would
soon be able to go home that day, and finally when school hours were over and his father had
come to pick John up, saying he was drowning in a sea of grief. John looked at his father's face
and he was fishing for compliments. John's father understood that his son had a hard day on
the first day of school, while on his way home John's father advised him success was a sense of
achievement; it is not an illegitimate child. On that day John got a very valuable lesson and felt
that his father light up his life and finally that night he was about to fade off to sleep.

Hari pertama di taman kanak-kanak

Hari ini adalah hari pertama bagi John untuk bersekolah di taman kanak-kanak. Meskipun ia
cukup dewasa untuk bersekolah, kebiasaan John, yang jarang bersosialisasi dengan anak-anak
seusianya, menjadikan John anak yang sedikit tertutup dan sulit bergaul dengan orang-orang
yang ia baru kenal. Ditemani oleh ayahnya ke pintu ruang kelas akhirnya dengan berat langkah
John memasuki kelas. Meskipun gurunya sangat baik, Ms. Sally, dia memiliki kepribadian yang
ceria tetapi bagi John ruang kelasnya bagaikan kebun binatang. Murid yang ada di sekolahnya
terdiri dari berbagai etnis dan perilaku mereka juga kasar. Hari itu, setelah makan siang seorang
anak merampas makanan John, air matanya bagaikan sungai yang mengalir di pipinya. John
benar-benar berharap bahwa dia akan segera pulang hari itu, dan akhirnya ketika jam sekolah
berakhir, ayahnya datang untuk menjemput John, dan ia mengatakan bahwa ia tenggelam dalam
lautan kesedihan. John menatap wajah ayahnya dan berharap pengertian. Ayah John mengerti
bahwa putranya mengalami hari yang berat pada hari pertama sekolah, sementara dalam
perjalanan pulang, ayah John menasihatinya bahwa kesuksesan adalah sebuah pencapaian; tidak
semua anak layak mendapatkannya. Pada hari itu John mendapat pelajaran yang sangat berharga
dan merasa bahwa ayahnya menerangi hidupnya dan akhirnya malam itu ia pun perlahan tidur.
