Abstract

Baker (2018) formed six types of equivalence, there are equivalence at word level, equivalence above word level, grammatical equivalence, textual equivalence, pragmatic equivalence and semiotic equivalence. The purpose of this research is to analyze what equivalence strategies on the classification of word, above word and grammatical level applied by Instagram Machine Translation in translating the captions. The researcher analyzed the data using descriptive qualitative analysis. In doing this research, the researcher related the translation equivalence and strategies theory from Mona Baker (2018). The researcher analyzed the data based on the classification of equivalence strategies at word level, above word level, and grammatical level. The result showed that, in the at word level equivalence, the researcher only discovered six of eight strategies applied by Instagram Machine Translation. In the classification of above word level equivalence in the term of collocation, the researcher only found two strategies. In the term of idiom and fixed expression, the researcher only found two of five strategies. In the classification of grammatical level equivalence, the researcher only found four of five strategies. It can be concluded that Instagram Machine Translation has indeed used several equivalence strategies, but Instagram Machine Translation still has some limitations in doing translation so that not all equivalence strategies can be used. Equivalence is only effective if you have a thorough understanding of what the source content is attempting to convey. The researcher advised the readers who use Instagram Machine Translation feature, to double-check the translation result to avoid missunderstanding. Keywords: Equivalence, Translation, Instagram Machine Translation.
