The S1 uses some aids, i.e. dictionaries and the Internet, in order to help her comprehend the terms “brass” and “collar”. In doing so, she also has an
attempt to recall a specific term which is already read, learnt, and known by waiting for the terms to appear or using the aids. At the end, she considers
“lencana” as the equivalent for “brass” and “kerah” as the equivalent for “collar”.

In the problem-solving process, the S2 does not think that the equivalents provided by Kamus2 are accurate for the translations of the terms “brass” and
“number”. Not being satisfied with the results from the dictionary, she translates “brass” into “selempang” with additional information, which is “kebesaran”.
63
Then, she renders “collar” into “kerah” with an expansion of the words “seragam gagahnya” by inferring from the context of the terms.
The tables above indicate that both subjects employ different strategies in translating “the brass number on his collar” which result in very dissimilar
translations. The S1, who spends more time solving this problem, does not add any additional information in translating the terms, unlike what the S2 does.
