The accuracy respondents were asked to compare the data from ST and TT, and check whether the Indonesian text was accurately translated into the
English text or not. The readability respondents were asked to read only the TT. Then, each respondent had to score the accuracy and the readability of the
translation text of every datum. Lastly, the respondents might add comments, suggestions, or reasons to the space provided below every datum, if necessary.
The scores then were calculated to find the average. In addition, an interview to the respondent would be conducted if there
was a respondent that gave score which was totally different from other respondents.
3. Population and Sample
The population of this study was all terms related to ‘tool’ taken from Bumi Manusia and This Earth of Mankind, the translated version of Bumi
Manusia by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. The sample was taken from the population based on the ‘tool’ categorization, such as weapon, farming, dishes, etc.
The method used in this research is Krejcie-Morgan 1970. The method uses a certain formula to determine the sample size. The population of this

research is 148 data. Based on Krejcie-Morgan Table, the sample for 150 data is 108. Thus, 108 data were analyzed based on their accuracy and readability.
4. Data Triangulation
The triangulation technique would be applied in order to guarantee the data validity. Sutopo states that there are four kinds of triangulation. Those were
method triangulation, source triangulation, investigator triangulation, and theoretical triangulation Sutopo, 2002:80.
This study used method triangulation and source triangulation. In this triangulation, three methods were applied to ensure data validity. Those were
questionnaire, interview, and document analysis. The diagram is as follows.
Method
Source triangulation is concerned with the variety of respondents in order to ensure data validity. The source had to come from various background so that
the result was expected not be uniformed. Two or more different respondents were to analyze similar data. The following diagram described the application of
source triangulation. Questionnaire
Document Analysis
