It needs to remember that a good translation does not feel like a translation when being read. When translating a text, there is a
different form of phrase, clause, source language sentence, and target language text has its own rule which is also influenced by its own different culture.
The most important before translating a text, a translator should find out and recognize what message meant to be delivered by the writer, hence a delivered
message from target language is kept well, maintained and unchanged though the structure of phrase, clause and sentence changes.
