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. The Example of the Data Analysis of the Back Translation Results
