In translating hyperboles, the effect of exaggerating something from the source text when translated literally into the target text can cause a strange meaning and less acceptable because the terms are not in accordance with the rules of the target language. This study aimed to analyze the translation strategies used by the translator in translating type of hyperboles and its translation quality in The Shrunken Head Novel. The design of the study was descriptive qualitative. The sources of data used in this study are The Shrunken Head Novel and the respondents.

The questionnaire is used to get the response of respondents related to quality of hyperbole translation. The data collected were analysed by classifying type of hyperbole as well as translation strategies applied in translating hyperbole in The Shrunken Head novel, reducing the data which is not suitable. Interpreting the data is also a part of data analysis, drawing an inference from the results of the analysis based on statement of the problems and provide the suggestion. The results of the study showed that there are two types of hyperboles found in this novel, namely overstatement of numbers and quantity and impossible description. Then, there are three strategies that used by translator to translated types of hyperbole in this novel, namely the sense of the word may be translated non-figuratively, retaining the word in the original but to add the sense of the word and substituting a figurative expression from SL to TL.
