Indonesian language notes
To rectify the error we can change:
Pembelajaran menjadi pembelajar to change "process" into "an actor or a doer"
Pembelajaran means the process of learning or studying
Pembelajar means the student or the one(s) who learn(s) or study(ies).

The sentence becomes:
Memastikan materi konten memenuhi kualifikasi yang dibutuhkan oleh pembelajar digital.

OR

Memastikan materi konten memenuhi kualifikasi yang dibutuhkan untuk (para) pembelajar digital. (better)


Why is "it" an error?
Explanation
Here, the 'oleh' is a preposition to mark an actor or a doer. It is usually used in passive structure to identify the subject that does something  to the subject in the passive sentence.

(men/di) Translasi in Indonesian language ->/= To translate in English
A "false friend"

Translasi (a noun) means a movement or positioning of all points in a specific/particular subject or discipline in the same distance or direction.

It is better to write "diterjemahkan (ke) dalam bentuk" instead of "ditranslasi dalam" which sounds stiff and "unruly".
"Menerjemahkan/diterjemahkan" -> "terjemah" + me+an or "terjemah" + di+an
In Indonesian language, the meaning of "to translate (terjemah)" is usually restricted (as of 2019) to only "whatever

KBBI:
(v) menyalin (memindahkan) suatu bahasa ke bahasa lain; mengalihbahasakan
(v) to copy (transliterate) a language to another language; to interpret into other language

Original sentence: "Merumuskan soal dan pembahasan yang dapat ditranslasi dalam format video."
Edited: "Merumuskan soal dan pembahasan yang dapat dituangkan ke dalam format video."

Dituangkan here is used metaphorically, which can mean 'to render to' or 'to translate into'

"Kesalahan Fatal" Kompas.com Merujuk Data

"Fatal Error" Kompas.com in Referring Data

 

Pada data yang dituliskan per 11 Desember 2018, seperti tertera diatas, tertulis pengguna Internet di Indonesia mencapai 143,26 miliar orang.

 

In the data provided per 11 December 2018,  as posted above, it is written that the Internet users in Indonesia has reached 143.26 billion people.

 

Bandingkan dengan ini:

 

Jumlah penduduk Indonesia di tahun 2017 saja hanya 264 juta jiwa, bagaimana mungkin jumlah pengguna Internet di Indonesia mencapai 143,26 miliar orang?

 

The total of Indonesian population in 2017 was only 264 million, how come the total of Internet users in Indonesia could reach 143.26 billion people?

 

Mari kita lihat berita lain dari Kompas.com:

Let's review other news from Kompas.com:

Dapat kita lihat disini bahwa terjadi kesalahan fatal Kompas.com menuliskan data referensi, dimana pengguna Internet di Indonesia seharusnya adalah 143,26 juta orang, bukan 143,26 miliar orang.

We can see here that Kompas.com has referred to a wrong reference data (there's a fatal error), where the total Internet users in Indonesia should be 143.26 million people, not 143.26 billion people.

Analisis Kesalahan dan Solusi Pembelajaran :

Berikut hanyalah asumsi penulis, namun terkadang seringkali para pemelajar/pengguna bahasa Inggris di Indonesia mungkin bisa jadi lengah

Million seharusnya memiliki padanan kata Juta (bukan miliar/milyar) 

sementara,

Billion seharusnya memiliki padanan kata Miliar (bukan biliun/bilyun)

1 juta = 1.000.000 - bahasa Indonesia
1 million = 1,000,000 - English

1 miliar = 1.000.000.000 - bahasa Indonesia
1 billion = 1,000,000,000 (1 milliard - British) - English

1 biliun = 1.000.000.000.000 - bahasa Indonesia
1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000  - English

Demikian post saya hari ini, semoga membantu :).

– People crave silence, yet are unnerved by it, The Economist

 

 

“The Sounds of Silence”

 
A theme of the age, at least in the developed world, is that people crave silence and can find none. The roar of traffic, the ceaseless beep of phones, digital announcements in buses and trains, TV sets blaring even in empty offices, are an endless battery and distraction. The human race is exhausting itself with noise and longs for its opposite—whether in the wilds, on the wide ocean or in some retreat dedicated to stillness and concentration. Alain Corbin, a history professor, writes from his refuge in the Sorbonne, and Erling Kagge, a Norwegian explorer, from his memories of the wastes of Antarctica, where both have tried to escape.

And yet, as Mr Corbin points out in "A History of Silence", there is probably no more noise than there used to be. Before pneumatic tyres, city streets were full of the deafening clang of metal-rimmed wheels and horseshoes on stone. Before voluntary isolation on mobile phones, buses and trains rang with conversation. Newspaper-sellers did not leave their wares in a mute pile, but advertised them at top volume, as did vendors of cherries, violets and fresh mackerel. The theatre and the opera were a chaos of huzzahs and barracking. Even in the countryside, peasants sang as they drudged. They don’t sing now.

What has changed is not so much the level of noise, which previous centuries also complained about, but the level of distraction, which occupies the space that silence might invade. There looms another paradox, because when it does invade—in the depths of a pine forest, in the naked desert, in a suddenly vacated room—it often proves unnerving rather than welcome. Dread creeps in; the ear instinctively fastens on anything, whether fire-hiss or bird call or susurrus of leaves, that will save it from this unknown emptiness. People want silence, but not that much. 

Indonesian translation:

Sebuah tema generasi, setidaknya di negara maju, yang menunjukkan bahwa orang mendambakan keheningan dan tidak dapat menemukannya. Suara bising lalu lintas, suara telepon yang tak henti-hentinya berbunyi, suara pengumuman digital di bis dan kereta, suara perangkat televisi yang dipasang hingga memekakkan telinga bahkan dalam keadaan kantor kosong, adalah serangan mental tidak langsung dan gangguan psikologis tanpa henti. Manusia menghabiskan hidupnya dalam suara bising dan mendambakan hal sebaliknya—apakah dalam hutan rimba, samudera luas, atau di tempat retret yang dikhususkan untuk ketenangan dan pemusatan konsentrasi. Alain Corbin, seorang profesor sejarah, menulis dari tempat pengungsiannya di Sorbonne, dan Erling Kagge, seorang penjelajah berkebangsaan Norwegia, dari ingatannya saat menjelajah dataran tandus Antartika, tempat asal kedua orang ini telah mencoba melarikan diri.

Namun demikian, seperti Tuan Corbin tunjukkan dalam karya berjudul “A History of Silence (Sejarah dari Keheningan)”, saat ini mungkin tidak ada lagi suara bising seperti yang dahulu kala. Sebelum ditemukannya ban angin (pneumatik), jalan-jalan di kota besar dahulu penuh dengan suara bising yang memekakkan telinga berasal dari bunyi roda berlapiskan logam dan bunyi ketoplak sepatu kuda yang bertubrukan dengan batu. Sebelum diberlakukan larangan penggunaan telepon genggam secara sengaja, bis dan kereta penuh dengan suara percakapan telepon. Para penjual koran tidak meninggalkan barang dagangan mereka dalam tumpukan bisu, namun mengiklankannya dengan suara keras-keras, sebagaimana juga dilakukan pedagang buah cheri, pedagang bunga violet dan pedagang ikan makarel segar. Teater dan opera berada dalam kondisi kisruh penuh dengan suara gemuruh sorak-sorai dan suara teriakan penonton. Bahkan di wilayah pedesaan, para petani saat itu bernyanyi sambil bekerja membanting tulang. Mereka tidak bernyanyi lagi sekarang.

Apa yang berubah bukanlah seberapa keras tingkat suara bisingnya, ketika generasi seabad sebelumnya juga keluhkan, namun tingkat gangguannya, tempat kebisingan memenuhi ruang tersebut dimana keheningan mungkin menyerbu. Disitu terjadi suatu kondisi paradoks lainnya, karena ketika suara bising ini benar-benar menyerbu— misalnya di kedalaman hutan pinus, di padang hamparan pasir, di sebuah ruangan yang dikosongkan tiba-tiba — kondisi ini biasanya menimbulkan rasa takut lebih dibandingkan dengan rasa hangat. Rasa ngeri mulai merasuk; syaraf telinga secara naluri menegang bereaksi terhadap suara sekecil apapun, entah bunyi desis-api atau suara cericip burung ataupun suara gemerisik dedaunan, yang akan menghindarkan perasaan ngeri dari kehampaan suara yang sebelumnya tidak dikenali ini. Orang menginginkan keheningan, namun tidak terlalu hening.

It's a pity .. I don't have any ready cash to join the competition to qualify.... Well, since I don't have enough bucks to buy the subscription in Proz.com membership, I'll just post my translation result here. Feel free to comment/input/constructive criticism here.

Most probably I also didn't see any actual benefits (as stated) on the ads - and it's quite expensive here if you convert it to Rupiah (which is around Rp.1.724.520/Rp. 2.586.600) ($120/$180 per year)) - and it's not even the Pro version/Business version). I know probably you think I'm stingy but I have to be thrifty to count all the benefits of the membership compared to if I use the money for something else...

Exam Preparation

水曜日2017年8月9日

 

Wednesday,  9th August

In three days, I will need myself to be prepared for my upcoming translation exam in Law. I need to brush up and refine my knowledge in Law terms (specifically in English, Bahasa and Japanese).

In English, we have many Law Terms (including legal, judicial, juridicial, for example). I want to list the words and try to connect its terms and equivalent words in each respective language.  I will keep this list rolling and updated, at least once a week!
