Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The new coronavirus pandemic has halted the world. Many people are forced to stay
inside to protect themselves and others. This situation has caused another important
issue to arise and that is a mental health pandemic. Researchers have collected the data
around the world and found out that the mental health condition of the people
throughout the globe has been sharply decreasing. Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are
on the rise. This thesis is a translation project that wants to offer a solution for this issue
by providing a source of positivity. This is based on bibliotherapy where people use
fiction as a way to process and deal with their mental health issues. The writer decided
to translate the webcomic Stand Still Stay Silent by Minna Sundberg because the story
is similar to the event happening in the real world. The characters in this story must
face a new deadly virus that almost wiped out humanity. However, mankind still
managed to persist and thrive. Despite their grim fate, humans still fought against their
end and emerged victorious. This positive and empowering story will hopefully inspire
hope within its readers. The writer applied many translation methods such as
communicative translation, reduction, and targeteers. Unnatural translation, nicknames,
beast terms, and limited space were the problems encountered during the translation
process. However, the writer still managed to resolve these issues by applying the
theories and methods suggested by experts and asking for second opinions.
