Dusun Brongkol, Kelurahan Argodadi, Kecamatan Sedayu, Kabupaten Bantul terletak kurang lebih 12 KM dari Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. Dusun tersebut terletak di daerah pegunungan Desa Argodadi, Sedayu, Bantul. Tujuan dari program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah meningkatan kegiatan ekonomi kreatif terutama bagi kelompok pemuda di Dusun Brongkol dengan pelatihan sablon, terutama di masa pandemic Covid-19 ini. Permasalahan utama dari dusun Brongkol adalah perlunya peningkatan kegiatan ekonomi kreatif untuk para pemuda-pemudi, agar dapat mengembangkan kegiatan organisasi yang lebih bermanfaat secara ekonomi. Ada tiga hal pokok terkait permasalahan tersebut, yaitu inisiasi ekonomi kreatif, perlunya pelatihan-pelatihan, dan desain edukatif. Solusi untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut adalah: pertama pelatihan sablon dengan media kaos/ kain, kedua pelatihan bahasa Inggris untuk alternatif pemakaian Bahasa Inggris (broken English) untuk desain kaos. Pelatihan ini dipilih karena mitra pengabdian adalah para generasi muda yang mempunyai ide and kreatifitas yang tinggi. Diharapkan dengan pelatihan ini akan menjadi wadah bagi mereka untuk mengembangkan ide mereka yang membuahkan hasil ekonomi yang bermanfaat bagi mereka secara khusus dan masyarakat desa secara umum, sekaligus sebagai sarana edukasi.

Bilingualism happens not only orally but also in written Indonesian articles. Usually, the articles use Indonesian and English terms. Bilingualism even can be seen in the articles’ titles. One of the fields that often use bilingual terms is found in Mechanical Engineering's articles. It happens because mechanical engineering has specialized terminology that sometimes untranslated into Indonesian terms. Many Indonesian experts have translated many English books with many variations of translation results. Therefore, the translation results are still questioned whether they are acceptable or not in Indonesian. This study aims to examine the factors of bilingualisms by observing titles of articles and finding the translation methods to translate the terminology from English to Indonesian. This study was qualitative research; by using questionnaires and observation, the research reveals that the main factor is untranslatability, where the English terminology cannot find its equivalent meaning in Indonesian. By using Molina and Albir's translation techniques, researchers reveal that the English terminologies can be translated in Indonesian using (1) amplification, (2) borrowing, (3) established equivalence, (4) calque, and (5) literal translation. This study concludes that the untranslatability problem can be solved when the experts try to use the accepted translation results rather than using English terms.
