Cooking Instruction of La Fonte Pazto Macaroni Chicken Mushroom

English Text	Indonesian Text	Analysis of Translation Techniques
Cooking instruction:	Cara Memasak:	Single technique: Transposition technique because "cooking instruction" actually means "memasak cara", but it was translated by changing the grammatical category into "cara memasak".
Pour macaroni and solid ingredients into 400 ml boiled water for 3 minutes, stir occasionally.	Masukkan makaroni dan bahan pelengkap ke dalam 400 cc (2 gelas) air mendidih selama 3 menit, aduk sesekali.	Couplet technique: Literal technique because it was translated based on the sentence pattern (by word for word). Descriptive technique because it gives the information about how to measure the water “400 ml” into “400 cc (2 gelas)”
Take out macaroni from water and drained well.	Keluarkan makaroni dan bahan pelengkap dari air mendidih dan tiriskan.	Single technique: Addition technique because it added the phrase “dan bahan pelengkap”  which is not exist in the original text. Then the phrase  “water”translated into “air mendidih”
Mix macaroni with seasoning powder, seasoning oil, and milk powder, stir well, serve immediately.	Campurkan makaroni dengan bumbu, minyak, dan susu bubuk, aduk hingga merata, hidangkan selagi hangat.	Quadruplet technique: Generalization Technique because it was translated using term that familiar (more general and neutral) in target language. There is “seasoning powder” which translated into “bumbu”. Reduction technique because the phrase “seasoning oil” was translated into “minyak”. It reduces the word “seasoning”. Literal technique because the phrase translated word by word, such as “milk powder” was translated into “susu bubuk”. Discursive technique because the phrase “serve immediately” translated into “hidangkan selagi hangat”. It does not have the continuity between the two phrases.
