However, limited research has integrated translation strategies, the representation of archaeological and historical meanings, and the pedagogical value of bilingual museum texts within a single analytical framework. This study investigates the English translation of Javanese archaeological heritage texts in Museum Sonobudoyo, Yogyakarta. Specifically, it examines (1) the translation strategies employed, (2) how archaeological and historical meanings are represented in the English translations, and (3) how the bilingual texts can be utilized as authentic materials for English language education. Adopting a qualitative case study design, the study analyzed bilingual Indonesian\u2013English museum texts collected through document analysis and purposive sampling. The findings reveal three translation tendencies: resistance, negotiation, and a combination of both. Resistance generally produces strong representation by preserving culture-specific terminology, Negotiation tends to generate weak representation through descriptive adaptation, and the combined tendency results in partial representation by balancing cultural authenticity with readability. Furthermore, the bilingual museum texts demonstrate significant potential as authentic materials for English language education by integrating archaeological, historical, and cultural knowledge with real-world English communication. This study contributes an integrated framework linking translation strategies, heritage representation, and English language education, providing practical implications for museum translation, heritage communication, and authentic language learning.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.188400.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]],"date-time":"2026-08-12T06:24:08Z","timestamp":1786515848000},"page":"1356","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["FROM MUSEUM TRANSLATION TO AUTHENTIC MATERIALS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION: TRANSLATING JAVANESE ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE INTO ENGLISH THROUGH MUSEUM SONOBUDOYO'S BILINGUAL TEXTS"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9278-9971","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lenggahing Asri","family":"Dwi Eko Saputri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yogyakarta Special Region of Yogyakarta Universitas Gadjah Mada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3397-3670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qurrota","family":"A\u2019yunin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yogyakarta Special Region of Yogyakarta Universitas Gadjah Mada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rizky","family":"Nugraha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bandung West Java Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adrian","family":"Adrian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bandung West Java Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ismi","family":"Windarti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bandung West Java Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hira","family":"Maryana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bandung West Java Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7720-8328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vanial Aulia","family":"Kurniawan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yogyakarta Special Region of Yogyakarta Universitas Gadjah Mada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krisna Hendro","family":"Setiono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yogyakarta Special Region of Yogyakarta Universitas Gadjah Mada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nasrah","family":"Nasrah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yogyakarta Special Region of Yogyakarta Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"69-80","DOI":"10.36989\/didaktik.v10i1.2560","article-title":"Comparative study on ChatGPT vs Google Translate in Indonesian-English of Bilingual Description of Historical Heritage at Museum Negeri Nusa Tenggara Barat.","volume":"10","author":"Y Afifah","year":"2024","journal-title":"Didaktik: Jurnal Ilmiah PGSD STKIP Subang."},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1-24","DOI":"10.1515\/sem-2016-0118","article-title":"Intrasemiotic translation in the emulations of ancient art: On the example of the collections of the University of Tartu Art Museum.","volume":"2018","author":"J Anderson","year":"2018","journal-title":"Semiotica."},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"28-44","DOI":"10.31548\/philolog\/2.2025.28","article-title":"Cultural aspects of language heritage use and preservation: The impact of bilingualism on identity and social integration.","volume":"2","author":"M Arllati","year":"2025","journal-title":"International Journal of Philology."},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"161-173","DOI":"10.1080\/09076760903249372","article-title":"Procedures, techniques, strategies: Translation process operators.","volume":"17","author":"A Bardaji","year":"2009","journal-title":"Perspectives: Studies in Translatology."},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"133-141","DOI":"10.2989\/16073610609486412","article-title":"The translator as cultural mediator.","volume":"24","author":"L Bedeker","year":"2006","journal-title":"Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies."},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"175-206","DOI":"10.1080\/13505033.2024.2400627","article-title":"Community engagement and sustainable heritage tourism: Mediating role of archaeological heritage interpretation.","volume":"26","author":"N Dadizadeh","year":"2024","journal-title":"Conserv.
