Abstract

Multimodality is also highly relevant to translate: a significant number of the texts being translated nowadays are multimodal, ranging from user manuals, websites, textbooks, and comics to audiovisual products such as videogames and films. This research aimed to identify the multimodality elements in translating children’s animated film from English into Indonesian. The research conducted through descriptive qualitative method through observation with documentation and note taking techniques. The results of the analysis showed that “Barbie of Swan Lake” and “Tinkerbell” presents comprehensive multimodality elements including visual, audio, spatial, gestural, and linguistic. Linguistic element in this case, referred to the existence of subtitles. The subtitles were not always related to the context of depicted story and multimodality elements. This happens because of several difficulties of translating children’s animated films regarding children’s references, fantasy depiction, joke undertone, and many more. The accurateness of the message of these films were in three criteria, namely poor, good, and sufficient. Keywords: children’s animated films, multimodality, relational context, message accuracy

儿童动画电影视听翻译中的多模态

多模态也与翻译高度相关:目前正在翻译的大量文本都是多模态的，从用户手册、网站、教科书、漫画到视频游戏和电影等视听产品。本研究旨在探讨英语儿童动画电影在印尼语翻译中的多模态因素。本研究采用描述性定性方法，通过文献观察和笔记技术进行。分析结果表明，《天鹅湖的芭比》和《小仙女》呈现出视觉、听觉、空间、手势和语言等综合多模态元素。在这种情况下，语言因素指的是字幕的存在。字幕并不总是与所描绘的故事背景和多模态元素有关。这是因为在翻译儿童动画电影时遇到了一些困难，包括儿童参考、幻想描述、笑话的潜在含义等等。这些电影信息的准确性有三个标准，即差、好和充分。关键词:儿童动画电影，多模态，关系语境，信息准确性
