Abstract
The translation of speech levels is necessary as an effort to introduce the culture of the place where those levels are used. Research on the translation of utterances involving speech levels is essential for evaluating and monitoring the quality of translated works emerging within the linguistic domains of Javanese and English. This study is a qualitative descriptive research aimed at examining the forms of speech levels, translation techniques, and the translation shifts that occur. The data source in this study is the utterances of the king character in the wayang performance Sesaji Raja Suya by Ki Purbo Asmoro, which has been published in book form under the title Sesaji Raja Suya in Javanese, along with its English translation The Grand Offering of the Kings by Kathryn Emerson. The findings of this study reveal that the translator encountered 293 instances of form shifts in translating utterances containing speech levels, while 296 instances
retained the original speech level without any shift. The most commonly applied translation technique was amplification. This reflects the translator’s competence in effectively transferring meanings from the source language into the target language.
