Abstract


As a vital component of cultural identity, language is under pressure as a result of globalization. This article discusses the creation of a website that provides a dictionary of Javanese phrases to help preserve and revitalize the language. In this study, we collect, categorize, and display Javanese words on electronic resources. In addition, the system usability scale (SUS) was used to conduct usability tests on the investigated websites to determine how user-friendly they actually were. Gathering terms from multiple sources, categorizing them, and developing a user-friendly interface with a search bar are all steps in the process of making a website. Users from all walks of life fill out the SUS questionnaire as part of the usability testing process. The test results reveal how well the website satisfies its users' requirements. Creating a database of Javanese words online and putting it through the SUS test is a great example of how technology can be used to help preserve a language and its heritage. It is believed that by taking this step, more people will become familiar with the Javanese language and become invested in its continued existence in the modern world. The usability testing results demonstrate that the development strategy and interface design effectively fostered a positive user experience. High scores on the SUS questionnaire, with an average rating of 80.25, indicate that users find the website satisfactory and user-friendly.
