Previous studies show that general problems among students are idioms, failing to comprehend the text, a lack of vocabulary, and subject-verb agreement. However, it is rare to find their primary concern in non-equivalence problems, and what solutions fit with students based on their experience. In this case, researchers use a qualitative method. To obtain this data, researchers conducted a deep interview using thematic analysis.

The problems that students face are grammar, vocabulary, coherence, and cultural issues.

This discovery can lead to curriculum review to solve students’ translation difficulty and also regulate the digital and AI tools utilization. To enrich the data, future researchers can use another method, or focusing on one type of non-equivalence problem in a kind of text, like news, narrative, procedure, etc.
