A mistake in translating a single word may cause thousands of deaths. An unimaginable fact that mistranslation cost 80.000 lives in Japan in August 1945 proves that translating a text should be taken into consideration and done carefully. Translating a source language (SL) into a target language (TL) is problematic and not as simple as only transposing SL into TL because this activity closely relates to different cultures. Therefore, this study is aimed at analyzing the translation techniques in the English subtitle of the movie “Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 1”. This qualitative study focuses on Molina and Albir’s translation techniques used in the English movie subtitle. The primary data were collected from the dialogs and the English subtitle and selected based on the translation problems. Furthermore, the data were analyzed and interpreted descriptively to identify and explain why and how the translation techniques are used in the English subtitle. This study found that five translation techniques were used to translate the dialogs in bahasa Indonesia (SL) into English subtitle (TL). In the subtitle, this study found the use of adaptation (10 times), transposition (9 times), borrowing (7 times), generalization (3 times) and compensation (once). Those techniques were applied to solve problems in translation, such as cultural differences, in equivalence, untranslatability, and grammatical differences. This study concludes that the techniques proposed by Molina and Albir in 2002 have been a great contribution in the field of translation. The cultural problems which lead to in equivalence and untranslatability, as well as grammatical differences are no longer problematic to translators.

Pandemi Covid-19 telah mengubah pembelajaran dari metode konvensional menjadi modern melalui pembelajaran daring (dalam jaringan) untuk meminimalkan transmisi Covid-19. Sejak 2020, siswa Indonesia melakukan pembelajaran dari rumah. MI Ishlahul Ummah Pranti, Sidoarjo juga menerapkan metode tersebut. Namun, beberapa masalah muncul selama pembelajaran karena sekolah tersebut belum memanfaatkan Google Classroom sehingga program pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PKM) yang berupa program diseminasi tentang fitur Google Classroom ini dilaksanakan untuk memberi solusinya. Program PKM ini dibagi menjadi 3 tahap, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi dengan memaksimalkan penggunaan teknologi internet. Pada tahap perencanaan, tim PKM ini mendiskusikan masalah yang dialami oleh sekolah tersebut dalam pembelajaran daring dan menawarkan solusinya. Tahap selanjutnya adalah melaksanakan diseminasi tentang fitur Google Classroom kepada guru dan siswa. Pada tahap akhir, tim ini mengevaluasi program ini dengan menyebarkan kuesioner sebelum dan sesudah diseminasi untuk memperoleh opini responden atau mitra tentang fitur Google Classroom. Sebelum diseminasi, guru dan siswa memberi pendapat setuju pada indikator dalam kuesioner yang merujuk pada fitur-fitur yang tersedia dalam aplikasi tersebut. Namun, hasil yang diperoleh melalui kuesioner pasca-diseminasi menunjukkan perubahan opini tentang fitur-fitur tersebut. Responden tersebut beralih pendapat menjadi sangat setuju dengan pemanfaatan fitur-fitur Google Classroom untuk pembelajaran daring. Program diseminasi ini mengungkap banyak fitur yang menguntungkan mitra, seperti dukungan pada pembelajaran tanpa batas ruang dan waktu, kemudahan pengumpulan dan penyimpanan tugas sekolah, peningkatan kemandirian dan keaktifan siswa, dan dukungan pada pembelajaran jarak jauh. Penggunaan Google Classroom untuk pembelajaran daring perlu ditingkatkan untuk memberi solusi atas masalah yang terjadi dalam pembelajaran daring karena aplikasi ini diperkuat dengan banyak fitur yang didesain untuk mendukung pembelajaran daring.

The unfair gender roles under patriarchal system are constructed to preserve gender inequality between men and women. Gender role practices extend gradually to maintain the male hegemony to make women powerless because female traditional gender roles (femininities) create dependency to men. Men are assigned to masculinities equipped with power, whereas women are ascribed to femininities to set boundaries that limit their movement. Yet, the increase of female awareness of gender equality has changed this situation. Gender roles are gradually shifting from traditional to modern as the opportunities to receive education and job open widely to develop women's roles that enable them to give financial contribution to the family. This study was purposed to analyze the shift in gender roles in 'The Joy Luck Club' and 'The Kite Runner'. This study used qualitative design in which Chinese traditional gender roles were described using Confucian perspective, whereas Afghan traditional gender roles were exposed in Islamic perspective. Moreover, Karl Marx's conflict theory was used to analyze the shift in gender roles in both novels. The results of study found that the construction of traditional gender roles in both China and Afghanistan was influenced mostly by patriarchy which perceives men as more superior than women. However, the dynamic changes of gender roles, especially femininities, supported by the increase of female education and occupation provide women with more power to achieve development. Further studies are encouraged to analyze other gender roles which have not discussed in this study.
