because every language has its own system. Abdul Chaer (2007: pg.33) states that
“bahasa itu sebuah system, system berarti susunan teratur berpola yang
membentuk suatu keseluruhan yang bermakna dan berfungsi. System ini dibentuk
oleh sejumlah unsur atau komponen yang satu dengan yang lainnya berhubungan
secara fungsional”.

1.5The Framework of The Theory
In the framework of the theory, the writer edits the Letter Post Manual. An
editor shall pay more attention to the grammatical mistake and the appropriate
choice of words to make sure that there is no wrong information in the Letter Post
Manual. According to Meaning-Based Translation by Mildred L. Larson:“ Texts
are chosen to be translated for various reasons. Most often it is to communicate
certain information to people speaking another language, or it may be to share
the enjoyment of the source text.”(1984: pg.46)
Based on the quotation above, the reason of translating the text is to
communicate the information to people in another countries. It makes editing to
be an important part in translation because it makes the information can be
deliveredclearly. The writer has to edit the text to keep closely with the original
English language as stated by Kris Van De Poel in the text editing. According to
Text Editing From A Talent To A Scientific Discipline:
“The editor is presented with the same problem as the translator: the
decision has to be made whether the text has to remain as closely as
possible to the original or the text has to be brought more closely to the
target audience. In the first case as little as possible is changed to the
original, in the second the style can be adapted if required and redeemed
necessary by the text editor”.(2003: pg.18)
The quotation above explains that the editor has to make the decide the

experience of particular things in the phenomenal world-what the
writer has actually seen, tasted, heard, smelled, or touched, or
what he has vividly imagined.”(pg.14)
According to above explanation, the method is used to describe the data

Data 1
Special bags containing newspapers, periodicals, books and similar printed
documentation for the same addressee at the same address called “M bags”, up to
30 kilogrammes.
In data 1 above, the word “kilogrammes” is inappropriate choice of words
because the word “kilogrammes” is unnatural in English language and it is
affected by France. The word “kilogrammes” use the suffix –es.
The sentence mentions that the “M bags” contains more than one
kilogram, thus the word “kilogram” must be written in plural form. The
appropriate plural form for “kilogram” is “kilograms.” From the explanation

Special bags containing newspapers, periodicals, books and similar
printed documentation for the same addressee at the same address called “M
bags”, up to 30 kilograms.
Data 2
No delivery charge may be collected from the addressee in respect of small
packets weighing less than 500 grammes. Where domestic small packet items
weighing over 500 grammes are subject to a delivery charge, the same charge may
be collected in respect of incoming international small packets.
The data 2 above, explains that small packet weighing less more than one
small packet gram. The word “grammes” is inappropriate choice of word in
natural English language. The word “grammes” use suffix –es.
In the sentence above, the word “grammes” must be “gram” in natural
English language. But, the word “gram” must be written in plural form from the
paragraph explanation above. Thus, the appropriate choice of word of plural form
for the word “gram” is “grams”. From the explanation above, here is the
suggestion for data 2:

packets weighing less than 500 grams. Where domestic small packet items
weighing over 500 grams are subject to a delivery charge, the same charge may

to be conveyed on the same sector, sacs collecteurs shall be made up, wherever
possible. They shall be made up by the post offices responsible for handing over
airmails to the airline undertaking the conveyance.
In the data 2 above, the word “collecteurs” is affected by French Language
“collecteurs.” The sentence in Letter Post manual must give the clear information
to the reader. Thus to make the all of information can be delivered to the people
clearly, and then the word “collecteurs” must be edited to be a natural English
language. Therefore, the word “collecteurs” must be changed in natural English
language by used the word “collectors”.

The data above, the word “tonnes” is inappropriate choice of word because

–es. The appropriate choice of word for the word “tonnes” must be “ton” in
natural English language. But, the sentence above, mentions that more than one of
letter-post mail was sent per year. Thus the word “ton” must be written in plural
form. The appropriate choice of word of plural form for the word “ton” is “tons”.
From the explanation above, here suggest correction bellow:
Administrations that send more than 100 tons of letter-post mail per year on a
specific flow, or that settle terminal dues based upon individual mail flow
estimates, shall use the UPU-standard S9 receptacle identifier on all postal
