The biggest problem found is that most of the students are not able to understand the meaning of idiom. Students are able to present the original color of the source language in the translation work.
Research Question

Why does the student have a problem with translating, especially translating an idiom at the fourth semester of English teaching study program at IAIN Metro.
Objectives and benefits of the research a. Objectives of the study
Hopefully, this research can be an inspiration for the teacher to know how the best technique to teach the students about translation, especially to translate an idiom, so that the students can translate not only think about the meaning, but also the beauty of idiom.

The Concept of Poem
Elements of Poetry
This is the music made from the words of the poem, which includes the syllables in the lines. The theme is the central idea or concept of the poem that the poet wants to share.
In Greek and Roman times, the rose was often a symbol of sensual love; by the Middle Ages it had become part of a new context, serving primarily as a symbol of spiritual love. When it comes to forming a critical response, think first about the meaning of the story we have read. Then we can move on to the way it is told, e.g. note the ways in which the style is elevated to suit the author's ambitious purpose.
The poem usually takes place at a critical moment in the speaker's life and provides an indirect insight into his/her temperament and personality. An ode is a lyric adopted from the Greek, but already greatly shaped by various English poets, and tends to be quite formal, often with varying or irregular meter, and usually between fifty and two hundred lines long. An ode is a poem elaborate and elevated lyric. extending over several stanzas and addressing a person or thing or an abstraction (eg "melancholia"). In its most straightforward form, it simply praises the subject, but as it developed into the Romantic period the typical ode became more hesitant and philosophical.
An ode is always addressed to someone (or something) that seems to transcend the problems of life, and thus stands as a symbol of. However, an ode becomes more complicated when the poet begins to question the status of the object addressed.
The Concept of Ambiguity 1. The Definition of Ambiguity
Ambiguous Meaning
For a given language, this information is provided by a grammar, which systematically pairs forms with meanings, ambiguous forms with more than one meaning. There is more than one meaning to that phrase, it can mean: 1) The history book is new. Let the ambiguity be due to the word "new" that is under construction, it can explain "history book", and also only "history". b. In addition to grammatical interpretation, ambiguity can also occur because of homonymy and the context of the phrase or sentence is unclear.
There is more than one meaning, it can mean: 1) John went to the edge of the river yesterday 2) John went to the place to save or take his money. Based on the above discussion, we know that there can be ambiguity in written language caused by grammatical interpretation. In this case, ambiguity occurs because the word in the phrase or sentence is incorrect.
In other words, ambiguity occurs not only in written language but also in spoken language.
Types of Ambiguity Sentence
Based on the above explanation, to avoid this kind of negative effect, one should ask about the words he heard37. The ambiguity sentence of this type can be divided into 3 types based on the possibilities that caused them. Ambiguity of this kind occurred in the similarity of the phrase as Ulman thought of the equivocal or amphibole phrases.
To avoid ambiguity of this kind, it is important to clarify the context of the sentence. According to Creswell, the research made an interpretation of an individual or environment, an analysis of the data from themes or categories, and finally an interpretation or conclusion about its personal and theoretical meaning. Qualitative research is a research process that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words of people and their behavior that can be observed so that the purpose of this research is to understand each individual and the nature of the background.
Although the case study has been known for a long time, a problem often arises as to whether the data from this research is qualitative. The author assumes that case study is a research methodology in order not to generalize the result of the research.

General Description of Research Data
However, they accept new translators on the strength of reader reports and translation samples, and those with the right skills should find that they are able to find work. 46. Successful translation must meet the following requirements, accuracy and attention to detail, knowledge of the legal systems of both the source and target languages, familiarity with relevant terminology and last but not least, confidentiality. But, as we all know, it is not the case that a word has more than one meaning, it is said to be lexically ambiguous.
The student's ability to write fiction must also be a problem, especially translating an idiom. If the student finds it difficult to translate the idiom, it seems impossible to understand the meaning of the idiom.
Description of Data Analysis
The accuracy of idiomatic understanding a. Accurate
On the basis of the above text, the student makes clear between the source language and the target language. So according to the researcher, the students translated the sentence correctly, Make it logical and translate without changing the real meaning and the researcher put the students' translation results into accurate categories. So according to the researcher, the students translated the sentence correctly, make it logical and translate without changing the real meaning and the researcher placed the students' translation results into categories that were less precise.
In this category, the meaning makes sense with the least unnatural words, grammar, phrase, and idiom.

Analysis of Research Variable
This research was conducted under the Sixth Semester of English Education Study Program at IAIN Metro. The researcher took the student's ambiguity in the translation and understanding of an idiom as the object of this research. Consequently, the researcher decided to observe 11 students' translation at the Fourth Semester of English Education Study Program in IAIN Metro.
Not only get the students' translation tests, but also do an interview on this topic. The purpose of the interview is about translation, e.g. what is translation, what do you think about translation, which one do you like, how to be a good translator, even if they translate in different ways. Data reduction shows the selection of the data that will be analyzed by summarizing and focusing the specific thing.
The researcher took some notes and coded the data to get clearer data.
