Deputy Cabinet Secretary Ratih Nurdiati asked Functional Translator Officers to have a focus on something, for example to focus on Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) which becomes one of the Presidents priority programs. The translators can look into the Regulation of the Minister on translation guidelines.
One of its points describes that functional translator officers must draft their target of employee performance (SKP) and it should be a derivative from the target of their working units. This was enunciated by the Deputy Cabinet Secretary at the opening of First Level Functional Translator Education and Training Class VII of 2018, at Building III Hall, Ministry of State Secretariat, Jakarta, on Tuesday (27/3) morning.<>
The Deputy Cabinet Secretary suggested to draft the target one step further, for example to set a target to translate 8 speeches related with the Presidents priority programs. Therefore, there is an effort to choose to focus on priority programs of the President.
According to her, it needs to be done in order to create synergy to achieve all priorities ofthe President. It should be a derivative from these priorities and the translators must also do the same. Their translation materials must be more focus.
