Abstract

The subjects of this research consist of 30 Senior High learners from some schools as the representative samples. Descriptive Qualitative Method with a case study design applies to the research. In collecting the data, essay tests and interviews were used. Findings show that there were some types of surface taxonomic errors such as misformation with 110 (60,11%) errors, omissions with 45 (24,59%) errors, addition with 16 (8,74%) errors, and misordering with 12 (6,55%) errors.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the diverse translation method strategies utilized by students in the tenth grade at SMA Pangeran Antasari. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive methodology. Participants included tenth-grade students from SMA Pangeran Antasari. The research employed two tools: the initial test involved the translation of English texts into Bahasa, while the subsequent questionnaire comprised ten questions. During the examination of translation techniques, the study applied the translation method framework as proposed by Newmark. The outcomes indicated that students employed merely four distinct methods to translate the texts. The approaches to translation adopted in this study encompass Literal Translation, Faithful Translation, Word-for-Word Translation, and Free Translation. Data examination demonstrates that among the 10 participants, Literal Translation and Faithful Translation were the primary translation methods used. Conversely, Word-for-Word Translation and Free Translation served as the secondary techniques.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study investigates the translation performance of two prominent machine translation (MT) tools—DeepL and Google Translate—in the context of high school-level social texts in Indonesia. Five Indonesian texts covering topics such as environment, culture, education, and digital behavior were translated into English using both tools. The translations were assessed by human evaluators based on three key criteria: accuracy, fluency, and contextual appropriateness. The study also incorporates theoretical perspectives on neural machine translation and its role in education to frame the analysis. Findings indicate that DeepL consistently outperforms Google Translate, especially in fluency and contextual sensitivity, although both tools have strengths and limitations. This research contributes practical implications for language educators and students in using MT critically and effectively in learning environments.
