    Definition of Translation
    Newmark (1981), : translation is a craft consisting
    in the attempt to replace a written massage and/or
    statement in one language by the same message
    and/or statement in another language.

    Wilss and Noss (1982), : translation is a transfer


    process which aims at the transformation of a
    written SL text into an optimally equivalent TL text,
    and which requires the syntactic, the systematic
    and the pragmatic understanding and analytical
    processing of the SL.
    Definition of Translation

    In general, translation is the process of transfering meaning from


    source language (SL) to target language (TL). For example,
    from Indonesia to English vice verse. The translator should be
    careful in transfering the meaning because it will reflects the
    message in the text.
    Other confusion
    • Commonly, most of the students translate even when
    they speak and write. This means that they write in
    Indonesia first what they want to say in English. Then
    they translate it. This of course produces problems in
    their translation as their Indonesian is itself still bad.
    Translation concept

    secara tertulis pesan dari teks suatu bahasa ke
