NOUN PHRASES TRANSLATION ON INSTITUTIONAL ONLINE NEWS TEXTS IN THE INDONESIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT: TECHNIQUES AND QUALITY ANALYSIS

This study analyzes the types of noun phrases, translation techniques, and translation quality in terms of accuracy and readability in institutional news texts published by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research investigates 80 noun phrases taken from 12 Indonesian news texts and their official English translations. The noun phrase types are classified based on Widjono (2005), the translation techniques are analyzed using Molina and Albir (2002), and the translation quality is assessed using the model by Nababan et al. (2012). The findings show that modificative noun phrases are the most dominant, while the established equivalent is the most frequently used translation technique. The overall translation quality is relatively high, with an average score of 2.66 for accuracy and 2.77 for readability. These results indicate that the use of appropriate techniques, especially established equivalents, helps produce accurate and readable translations in institutional contexts, particularly those involving election-related terminology.
