CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Problem
Translation is one of subject that important for English student.
Translation is how to change a text from source language to target language
(Indonesia-English / English-Indeonesia. As a translator should be translate
the meaning be based on the context than the form of the text, because
accuratelly translating source text semantically and grammatically is the first
step of many translation course in Indonesia. Sometimes meaning from a
source text is different with the context, for example; Old Cottage the real
meaning is gubuk tua (form meaning), while, the phrase can’t to change in
target language (Indonesia) is tua gubuk, old as tua and cottage as gubuk. It is
error translation because when changed the meaning from source language to
target languange (Indonesia English or English to Indonesia) sometime should
be inverted.
Translation is not easy to work, because in translating as a translator
should be considered about the grammar equivalence. It is very important to
make the translation look natural and can make the reader understand when
their. Nida state Translation consist of reproducing in the receptor language to
closest natural equivalence of the source language message, first in terms of
meaning and secondly in terms of style. It means in translating must be

equivalence, the reader of translation who knows the target language, only
will be confuse if the target language is influenced by the source language.
In teaching translation lecturer must be known about why and how to
make the students have a good translation. In translating of course some
students still get some promlems, first they don’t understand about grammar,
the second, they have limited vocabulary. In here, the researcher only focus
about grammar equivalence, because grammar equivalence is very important
on translating to make the translation look natural.
Its very difficult for students to translate the text From Indonesia To
English And English To Indonesia. Because when they translate from a source
language to target language (Indonesian-English/English-Indonesian) they
must concern in the grammatical of the sentence. Then the translation must
similar and close to the target language that can make the reader understand of
translator writing.
It is important to make translation as natural as possible between source
language and target language. Brown, (2000), in Cahyani, grammar is the set
of structural rule govering the composition of clauses, phrases, and words and
any given natural language. It means grammar is very important in translating
because if you don’t understand about grammar your translating will be poor.
for example” I love You, saya cinta kamu“ (simple present tense) with I loved
you, saya pernah mencintaimu (simple past tense) if a translator not mastering
grammar they will out of the meaning.

In conclusion, in translating as translator should be changed the text be
based on the context than form of the text. There is some sentence in the text
should be changed be based on the context then form of the taxt. On
translating a translator should be considered about grammar equivalence,
because its very important to make a good translation and make the reader
understand when they read the text. For example, ayam goreng (indonesia as
source language and english as the target language) be based on the context
ayam goreng should be changed to fried chicken not chicken fried, chicken as
ayam and fried as goreng. In translating when translate a text from Indonesia
to English Or English to Indonesia should be inverted.
B. Identification of the Problem
a. Students
1. Some students still have difficult to comprehend a grammar equivalence on
translating.
2. Some students have very low motivational in translation.
b. Lecturer
The problem of translating about grammar equivalence not only come
from the students but also from the lecturer, when they delivery the material in
teaching translation is to fast.
C. Limitation of the Problem
In translation class as a lecturer should be considered with the students
ability in tanslating. As a translation lecturer they must to teach the students
with slowly, because translation is very difficult to understant. The students

have some problem in translating, but in this paper the researcher only focus
about grammar equivalence, because grmmar is very important to make
translation look natural and understanding by the reader. It is the lecturer work
how to make the students translation will be good and can understand by the
reader.
D. Formulation of the Problem
Based on the limitation of the problem, the researcher formulates the
problem as follow “how to teach tranlation that have good grammar
equivalence for the third grade in STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat?”.
E. Research Question
1. How is student ability grammatical equivalence in translating.
F. Purpose of the Research
Based on research question, the aims of this study can be formulated to:
1. To describe student’s ability grammatical equivalence in translating
G. Significance of the Research
The writer hopes this paper can be give constribution to the translation
lecturer, students, readers and writer.
1. For the lecturer
They will find a new ways in teaching translation.
2. For the Students,
The Students more understand and consider about grammar equivalence in
translating.
3. For the Readers,

The researcher hopes this paper will give more information about, how to
make a good translation and have grammar equivalence.
4. For researcher,
Through this paper the researcher will be able to improve knowledge in
writing a good paper and the researcher herself in mastering translation
especially in translating that have grammatical equivalence.
H. Defenition of key Term
1. Translation.
Translation is one of subject that also i
mportant for English students. Translating is change a text from source
language to target language. As a translator we must to translate a text be
based on the context than the form of the text. Its very important to make the

translation will not good translating.
