“…The former talks about the application of the topic, while the latter focuses on the theory. While researches on honorific translation have been carried out by several researchers [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. The studies conducted discuss political politeness strategies in certain language functions that are used both in the source language (SL) and the target language (TT).…”

This article discusses politeness markers in English found in King Solomon's Mines novel and their translated version in Pependeman Nabi Sulaeman. This presents the result of an investigation on the politeness markers and the translation techniques used in meaning transfer. The main focus is to find out the translation ideology of the translator in this translating the English politeness markers from the novel. In analyzing the politeness markers, the taxonomy of the politeness structure of the House and Kasper added by terms of address is applied, while the translation techniques proposed by Molina & Albir are used to find out the translation techniques exercised by the translator. From 645 politeness markers, terms of address and downtoners are most frequently used by 45% and 22% respectively. While the most dominating translation techniques exercised are a deletion, established equivalence and variation with the percentages of 53, 16, and 15. It can be summed up that in the novel honorific markers are used to show politeness, while from the translation techniques used, it can be seen that the translator is keen on implementing the domestication translation ideology.

The paper discusses translation techniques of a translated English-Sundanese novel. It focuses on the translation techniques of honorific markers from an English novel entitled 'King Solomon's Mines and its Sundanese version: Pependeman Nabi Sulaeman. The research aims to reveal the effect of translation techniques on the quality of the translated honorific markers. English honorific markers which were translated into Sundanese are identified with reference to House & Kasper (1981) and analysed to determine the translation techniques (Molina & Albir,2002) used by the translator. Discussion on the findings is focused on assessing the translation quality based on the translation quality framework from Nababan et.al (2012). The research indicates a downgrading of meaning in the Sundanese translation of the English honorific markers which results in meaning with the tendency to carry a ruder nuance in the translated version. The downgraded meaning is most of the time a consequence of using the variation translation technique. The chosen technique might have been based on the translator's understanding on the subjective positions of the speakers in the conversations. The word choice also indicates the translators' knowledge and understanding of appropriate words available in Sundanese as the target language.
