STUDENTS’ DIFFICULTIES IN TRANSLATING ENGLISH TEXT by Arono Arono, Nadrah Nadrah

“…Then, the factors affected students’ error in translation were ignorance of ellipsis; unable to identify ellipsis, idiom, and lexical meaning; lack of strategy in translating ellipsis,  idiom, and lexical meaning; translating words per word; most students lack a strong background on the content of the text. It was concluded that the students got three types of error in transalation, four points difficulties in translation, and six factors which influence the students’ error in translation. …”
