This research employed mixed methods, descriptive qualitative method and quantitative method. The data are the original or English version of proper nouns and their Bahasa Indonesia translations found in House of Secrets novel, which are in the form of words and phrases. The results of the research showed three findings. In terms of proper nouns, there are nine categories. They are names of person, names of animals, names of geographical units, names of buildings, names of historical events, names of time units, names of groups and languages, names of religions, and names of awards and brands. Among the categories, names of person became the most frequent category which is appeared 143 times (39.18%) in the novel. In terms of translation strategies, there are seven translation strategies: preservation, addition which are included under foreignization ideology, and then followed by localization, globalization, omission, transformation, and creation which are considered under domestication ideology. The result shows that preservation strategy was the most dominant strategy since it occurred 275 times (75.34%) in the novel. Thus, the findings clearly showed that the ideological tendency of the translation of the proper nouns was foreignization since the dominant strategy which is applied was under foreignization ideology
