Translation plays a crucial role in many aspects, including film subtitles. This research aimed to identify the types of translation strategies and the quality of the translations used in the Indonesian subtitle of the film Frozen II. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the analysis was based on Suryawinata and Hariyantos translation strategies classification, which includes structural and semantic strategies. Nine strategies were identified: addition, transposition, borrowing, cultural equivalent, descriptive equivalent, synonym, reduction, expansion, and modulation. The translations quality was evaluated using Nababan et al.s criteria of accuracy, acceptability, and readability. The results showed that the translation was highly accurate, with an accuracy percentage of 85.9%. However, the 14.1% of translations classified as less accurate (12.7%) or inaccurate (1.4%) highlight challenges in capturing nuance, tone, and context, often due to constraints like limited space and timing in subtitles. While most translations were accurate, these cases emphasize the need for careful attention to detail to maintain the original meaning. Furthermore, this study concludes that the translator effectively applied multiple strategies, resulting in a high-quality translation that captures the intended meaning and cultural nuances of Frozen II. Additionally, the distinct contribution of this study lies in its thorough integration of both structural and semantic translation strategies, providing a more comprehensive analysis than previous research. It emphasizes the critical importance of not only translating language accurately but also conveying meaning and cultural nuances, particularly in the subtitles of animated films, to preserve the original essence and emotional impact for Indonesian audiences.

Conclusion

The study concluded that the translation strategies employed in the Indonesian subtitles for Frozen II effectively convey the films message and emotional depth within an Indonesian cultural and linguistic context.Translator Pein Akatsuki applied nine strategies, emphasizing semantic methods like modulation, allowing expressions and emotional tones to resonate naturally with Indonesian audiences.The translation demonstrates high accuracy, acceptability, and readability, maintaining the original meaning while ensuring cultural relevance.

Future Research

Further research could explore a wider selection of films and compare different translators methods to gain broader insights into the range of strategies used in film translation. Additionally, investigating audience reception and understanding of translated films could offer further insights into how various translation approaches impact viewer engagement. Considering the importance of visual elements in film translation, future studies could focus on how subtitles are synchronized with visual cues to enhance the overall viewing experience and maintain the films emotional impact. Finally, research could also investigate the application of machine translation tools in conjunction with human translators to optimize efficiency and quality in film subtitling, while ensuring cultural sensitivity and nuanced meaning preservation.
