data containing the locative preposition at, in, and on and its translation are collected and grouped based on what locative preposition is contained in the data. The grouped data which are still in the full sentences are then specified into a table that only contains the locative prepositions, object preceding the locative preposition, object following the locative preposition, the meaning of the locative preposition, and the Indonesian translation of the locative preposition. Table 1. Example of the Meaning and the Indonesian Translation of Locative Preposition at Number of data Object precedin g the prepositi on Prepo sition Object following the preposition Meaning Indonesian translation of the preposition 13STAt530 alone at a small table Dimension -type 0 di 93STAt21193 the match at the bull Dimension -type 0 pada 111STAt22200 one at each side Dimension -type 0 - 130STAt25293 that town at one end Dimension -type 0 dari 133STAt27293 down at the station Dimension -type 0 ke The table has the function to show the meaning of the locative preposition related to its “environment” or the words that come before and after the locative preposition and to show the translation of the locative preposition in Indonesian. The Indonesian translation of the locative preposition is then presented in the form of a table which becomes the result of the translation variations of the locative prepositions in Indonesian. Table 2. Example of Translation Variations of Locative Preposition at English Preposition Indonesian Translation Number of Data At Di 13TTAt55 Pada 93TTAt21149 Not translated 111TTAt22170 Dari 130TTAt25251 Ke 133TTAt27252 To answer the second problem, the back translation method is conducted. Twenty one samples of the data, in this case, the Indonesian translation of the locative preposition at, in, and on, are given to the respondents to be translated back into English. The results of the back translation are then re-checked with the source text whether or not the respondents translate it back to the same preposition. The results of back translation method are presented in different tables based on the locative prepositions contained in the data. Table 3.
