English translations of the zoo plaque displayed in the Gembira Loka Zoo Yogyakarta is poor. From the study, she finds out that 78.26 of the translations
are unacceptable due to some grammatical mistakes and unnatural sentences in the translations.

Indonesia – English translation and the researcher is helped by expert in
translation to make a scoring rubric based on a translation criteria suggested by Machali 2000. Moreover, the subject of this research is the translation of the
