Abstract

This article deals with the level of correspondence of the translations of French interjections into Indonesian in the comics Spirou et Fantasio and its translation. Using qualitative methods and literature techniques, data were analyzed based on Leech's (1981) component analysis theory and Williams' equivalence theory (2013). Types of shape changes were analyzed using Catford's (1965) shift theory. The results that show more total equivalence indicate that translators maintain correspondence and messages even though French interjections are more varied than in Indonesian. However, the translation equivalent of interjections in Indonesian is considered more appropriate for the function in the context of images than in French. The onomatopic-type interjection usually consists solely of a collection of vowels or consonantal combinations serves to support the expressions and feelings of the characters. This type of interjection dominates other forms of interjection. Although the translation of onomatopoeia into Indonesian is done only by the repetition of previous translations, the onomatopoeia that is used has different meanings depending on the context. Compared to other comics, genre humor Spirou and Fantasio is more likely to bring up the story in the picture, so the interjections and simple sentences felt quite favorable to the picture. The use of simple sentences in this comic indicates that there is no change of form is found other than the displacement of the word class in Indonesian translation
