Term is a word or word-combination which denotes the notion of a special realm of communication in science, industry, technology, art, in a definitive field of knowledge and human activity, that is a special purposes linguistic unit (Лейчик 2007). In this context, the article develops the analyses of writer’s master thesis about the translation of Indonesian terminology standardization directory for computer application ‘Panduan pembakuan istilah penggunaan komputer dengan aplikasi komputer berbahasa Indonesia’ that were set up by the TIM INPRES ‘the Presidential directive teams’ of Indonesia, Number 2/2001. The analyses result was that identifiable numerous approaches of equivalent, and these categorizable inconsistance in the translation process.  Therefore, the message of source language (English) could not comprehensively be expressed in the target language (Indonesian).  Analyses development in the article is tend toward the reviewing of technical terms existence etimologically-theoretically, referring to the International Terminology Standardization, International Standardization Organization (ISO), and Handbook of Terminology in relation to the message sense of technical terms in translation.      Thus, the technical terms in the translation context are bounded by four dimensions; concept, object, term and definition referring to the semiotic triangle as the terminologists’ additional dimension. Where, the pyramid was extended by the dimension of definition resulting four intersections to represent the concept. Accomodating the concept of technical terms can only be handled through the adoption approach of phonetic and semantic adaptation to keep the equivalent message of two different languages.

The language harmony in this study is oriented to the idea of the awakening of sincronized or similar object, concept, definition and term in relation to the terms adoption strategy by a general translation from one language to another (donor by recipient language). Terms are important pillars in the science systems that they must have the same meaning for everyone using it so the information exchange will obtain a good result. Thus, through a general consensus on meanings, names and specific terms along with the usages consistently will result in the uniformity of a special vocabulary containing the standard concepts, terms and definitions. The data collecting method is by browsing electronic library (e-lib) with data source taken as samples such as (1) Phonological adaptation of borrowed terms in Duramazwi reMimhanzi, (2) Translation journal of translation procedures, strategies and methods, (3) Are there connections between English and Romanian terminology in Medicine?, (4) Third-year students’ difficulties in translating computing terms from English into Arabic, (5) Studying Loanwords and Loanword Integration: Two Criteria of confirmity. The analysis is conducting by observing phonological aspects phenomenon (concerning pronunciation system) and orthographic aspect (concerning writing system). Based on these data, it is shown that the technical term equivalence strategy is conducted through the adjustment of sound and the foreign writing system (donor language) with changes based on the phonological system according to the pronunciation and the orthography system of a language (recipient language). The strategy is an attempt to maintain the full meaning of the concept contained in the terms of a language which meaning is not revealed in other languages in order to establish harmony or similarity of vision in the context of the use of the term to build language harmony among language speakers or users. Abstrak Istilah merupakan sendi penting di dalam sistem ilmu pengetahuan, harus mempunyai makna yang sama bagi semua orang yang menggunakannya, agar pertukaran informasi memperoleh hasil yang baik, maka melalui kesepakatan umum tentang makna, nama dan istilah khusus serta penggunaannya secara konsisten akan menghasilkan keseragaman suatu kosa kata khusus yang memuat konsep, istilah, dan definisinya yang baku. Artikel ini merupakan hasil kajian bidang penerjemahan tentang suatu pendekatan yang terkait dengan peristilahan, khususnya istilah teknis (technical terms). Sejumlah pendekatan yang dapat disajikan adalah sebagai alternatif dengan mengacu pada prinsip-prinsip kesamaan konsep antara bahasa sumber dan bahasa target (donor and recipient language). Data dalam kajian ini diperoleh melalui akses internet (online) untuk memperoleh jurnal, artikel dan referensi lain yang mengkaji masalah peristilahan dan aspek-aspek linguistik secara tekstual yang berorientasi pada bidang penerjemahan. Hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa bentuk interakasi di antara berbagai bahasa dalam bidang penerjemahan, khususnya menyangkut istilah teknis dapat dilakukan dengan pendekatan penyesuaian aspek kebahasaan atau kaidah linguistik bahasa donor menurut aspek atau kaidah kebahasaan bahasa penerima (recipient language). Hal ini dilakukan adalah sebagai upaya untuk mempertahankan makna konsep yang dimiliki bahasa donor di satu sisi, dan upaya menyesuaikan aspek atau kaidah linguistik menurut bahasa penerima di sisi lain. Dengan demikian, harmoni bahasa dapat terbangun bagi penutur atau pengguna bahasa di antara komunitas bangsa itu sendiri.
