Abstract
This research aims to analyse the perception of students and translators in using the Matecat in the translation process by using appraisal theory. Students in Translation and Interpreting class and ten translators in Magelang, Indonesia, were interviewed related to the use of Matecat. This study employed critical discourse analysis and used appraisal theory to find the evaluation, attitude, and judgement of students and translators about Matecat. The finding shows that appreciation is the dominant attitude from students’ and translators' perceptions. Although they have the same attitude, students tend to show valuation, and translators prefer to use reaction. Besides, monogloss is the engagement used by students and translators, and focus-sharpen is the graduation in their perception. This study tries to find the evaluation, attitude, and judgement of students and translators perception on using Matecat as Computer-Assisted Translation tool. Some studies related to perception in using technology have been conducted in Indonesia and overseas. None of the studies presented applies the appraisal theory to analyze perception. Hence, this research aims to find the kind of attitudes which include affect, judgement, and appreciation from the translators and students in using Matecat as a Computer-assisted translation tool by using appraisal theory.
