“…Findings showed that most fan translators think of themselves as consumer producers and show traits similar to those of their readers. Jabu and Abduh (2021) explored the motivation of 40 students participating in translation training in the Indonesian context. Findings showed that students portray their future selves as the key motivational factor in participating in translation courses.…”

Many Chinese students further their master’s study in translation, however, only a few of them become translators at last and most of them gradually decrease their language learning motivation in the translation program. Based on Complex Dynamic Systems Theory, the study adopted a sequential mixed methods design with both questionnaires and interviews to collect the data. We collected 446 questionnaires to explore what types of affordances influence their language learning motivation most. After that, we interviewed six participants to explore how these affordances influence their motivation. Findings from the questionnaires showed that the affordances of the mentor can be divided into strong academic ability, rich academic resources, caring students, and strict requests; affordances of the instructor can be divided into informative courses, being serious in class, strong teaching ability, practical courses, new teaching methods, and the reasonable course planning; affordances of the peer can be divided into peer pressure, shared learning resources, mutual encouragement, and mutual supervision. Affordances of the institution can be divided into a good learning atmosphere, sufficient internship opportunities, abundant library resources, good infrastructure, and scholarships. Findings from the interview showed that different interpretations of affordances lead to different effects on language learning motivation; affordance has little influence on intrinsic language learning motivation. This study provided some insights for policymakers and teachers on how to cultivate and promote translation students’ language learning motivation.

“…The problem is that the translation of literary work like novels is still very limited due to some factors and one of them is we have lack of awareness of the richness of our own culture [1] that our art as in our culture cannot be exposed as we expect it. This becomes complicated as the rareness of the translation work leads to the rareness of research on translation itself [2]. ICADECS Apart from the situation, the research about translation of Indonesian art as a part of non-equivalence word [3,4,5], and as a part of cultural items [6,7] has been located.…”

Indonesia is a country of various cultures representing each ethnic group around the archipelago. Each culture creates its own art ranging from its music including its traditional musical instruments, dance, its architecture, to its martial arts. The way people in each ethnic group name their art products is specifically unique. It may not contain any general characteristics as other cultures have. The uniqueness can only be introduced to other cultures within the nation as well as outside of the nation through a language understood by them. It is therefore that the information can be shared with others through translation work as the equivalents given in the target text. This research uses some Indonesian novels and their translation into English as the data source. Using the descriptive qualitative method, this research is aimed at revealing Indonesian art found in Indonesian novels and describing how they are shown in the English target text as their equivalents. How the author in the source text expresses the art is the first research question and what strategies are used in delivering the art through translation becomes the second research question. The results show that not all the authors of the source novels are aware that the art they mention in the novel need to be added with more information, and it is identified that the dominant strategy of translation used in translating the name regarding the art is translation using a loan word or loan words plus explanation. Keywords: Indonesian art, source text, strategies of translation, target text, translation

“…Translation is profitable language proficiency for communication and professional practice. Translation nowadays has attracted great attention due to the demands of educational and industrial circles (Jabu, et al, 2021;Pourfarhad, et al, 2018). Translation contributes to the absorption of science and technology especially for non-English speaking countries (Siregar, 2017).…”
