The present article discusses the process and problems of translating the Indonesian comic book entitled ‘Mice Cartoon: Indonesia Banget! 2’. It is a comic that contains typical Indonesian current situations. The aim of translating the comic book from Bahasa Indonesia to English is to produce the English version of the comic book, which makes foreign readers understand Indonesian comics. As the comic also describes some events and conditions in Indonesia, this can also help illustrate social conditions in Indonesia to the foreign readers and show some Indonesian culture through comics. The translation is challenging as it has many Indonesian slang and dialects which are only found during the events. The techniques and procedures of translation are discussed and analyzed using the translation techniques suggested by Molina & Albir (2002). It was found that not all techniques were used. The most frequently used translation technique is the literal translation, followed by Modulation and Linguistic amplification. Cultural translation arising from the analysis is also discussed.
