1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
In this modern era, information is very essential. Thus, everyone has to exchange it with other people. One way to do this is by using language. It happens for it is the common way to exchange information, and people accept it exceedingly. Presently, English language is used as international language. By using English language, you can communicate with almost every person on this planet. Thus, every nation has to learn English language properly because English is an essential element to international communication.

As a bridge of information, translation has massive contribution in many aspect of our life. In education sector, translation is one of teaching method, which can help students to learn English language gradually. In cultural sector, translation helps people understand and respect of each country’s culture. And in tourism sector, translation contributes to introduction of beautiful tourism places to tourists from different countries. The three sectors above are a few example of the contribution of translation in our life. Thus, translation is necessary in our life due to it can help us to reach better understanding in learning English.
In translation’s work, a translator has to speculate some aspects. As effect, translation’s work is not a simple task to do. To cope this, a lingual intelligence, precision, grammatical mastery and adaptability in investigating semantic are conditions that have to be fulfilled by a translator. Likewise, translation procedure and its attitude must be contemplated by translator for the accuracy of translation’s meaning is its main intention. Therefore, a good translation can be achieved by considering some aspects of translation activity.

students’ interest and skill in translation. Second stage is introduction II. As in the previous stage, in here students are provided with basic knowledge of translation but with more detail. This stage is only for the sixth semester students. Finally, the last stage is training. The seventh semester students are the participants in this stage. After all preparations which have been provided in introduction II, students are expected to master it and practice it in order to be a superb translator. To achieve this, students are divided into some groups of translation bureau where they have to prepare all preparations like a real translation bureau. The preparation starts from deciding name and place for bureau, structural organization, advertisements, and the price. By making and running this bureau, students are expected to learn and gain actual experience as a real translator.
Considering various orders in every language, a translator should search the applicable method in translating certain text. Specific variety of text needs proper method associated to translation concept, and it has its own style and difficulties. Thus, a translator has to transfer full information in the source text consistently and logically by recognizing its characteristic. Therefore, an excellent translation can be achieved by considering text characteristic and appropriate translation method.

1.2 Problem Statements
In this study, the writer formulates two problems related that happen in translation
bureau job training. These problems are displayed below:
What is the most translation method dominantly used by Translation II students in running translation bureau job training?
What kinds of translation error do the Translation II students make in running translation bureau job training?
1.3 Purpose of the Study
After formulating the problems, the writer aims to achive the answers related to the problem in this study. The aims are:
To identify the most dominant translation method used by Translation II students in running translation bureau job training.
To know the kinds of translation error made by Translation II students in running translation bureau job training.
1.4 Significance of the Study
From this study, the writer hopes that this study can contribute to linguistics’ studies, translation subject precisely. Moreover, the writer expects that this study will assist people, both in specific and general purposes.

translation product (text), and translation errors analysis. By reading and understanding this study, the students can improve their translation knowledge and translation lecturers can improve their students’ achievement, especially in translation method.
The Second point is supporting in general purpose or non-academic way. Except students of university level, the writer also aims to provide support for every person who wants to learn translation. The reason is everyone can master translation. Machali (2009:188) argues that if a person has exceptional bilingual language ability, thus he has a brilliant asset to be a translator and determine whether to attend translation education (university) or not. Hopefully, by reading this study, the reader can adjust their translation knowledge, specifically in translation method. To achieve this, translation experts’ theories, translation product (text), and translation error, especially for translation method are given throughout this study.
1.5 Scope and Limitation
In discussing translation, it will take long time to study full body of translation. As another linguistic subject, every subject has their advance level to study. Thus, the writer decides only to analyze translation method and translation error found in Indonesian-English translation. The translation error is limited to tenses error (simple present and simple past) and meaning (contextual meaning).
6
make all of them as the target. Thus, the writer takes one of Translation II students’ bureaus from year 2011, especially who take Translation II subject in A class. From this group, the writer focuses on Indonesian-English translation because the demand of this kind of translation is greater than the English-Indonesia translation. The amount of English-Indonesian-English translation product is six products. The reason of why the writer to take this bureau is because the communication between this group and writer is favorable, which mean it is easy to meet with this group. And also, their translation product’s management is clear, which cause the analysis is easier to conduct.
1.6 Definition of Key Terms Translation
Catford (in Hartono, 2003:11) argues that translation is replacement of textual material in one language (source language) by equivalent textual material in another language (target language).
Method
Macquarie dictionary (in Machali, 2009: 75) states that a method is a way of doing something, especially in accordance with specific plan.
Error
Merriam Webster dictionary states that error is something that is not correct; a wrong action or statement

TRANSLATION METHOD USED BY TRANSLATION II STUDENTS IN
RUNNING TRANSLATION BUREAU JOB TRAINING
ABSTRACT
This study was derived from a Translation II course program called
“Translation bureau job training.” In this program, the translation II students were
to make a group to run a bureau as a practical work in Translation II course. By
conducting this program, the students were expected to be able to apply their
knowledge that was achieved in Translation I course. The aims of this study are to
identify the most dominant translation method used by Translation II students in
running translation bureau job training; and to know the kinds of translation error
made by Translation II students in running translation bureau job training.
The writer applied qualitative descriptive research method. The data were
collected by using documents. The object of the study was six translation
products. The data was achieved through gathering translation product, deciding
source text and target text, and reading and understanding the text.
The finding indicated that translation products I,II, and VI used faithful
translation method, translation product III used semantic translation method, and
translation product IV and V used idiomatic translation method. And for tenses
error and meaning error, the finding showed that there were four errors in simple
present tense, two errors in simple past tense, and seven errors in contextual
meaning.
To sum up, the most dominant translation method is faithful translation
method. The number of translation errors was thirteen errors. By considering the
number of translation error, the writer advises that future translators should fully
understand the translation product and also increase their concentration in order to
avoid the same errors.
