English into Bahasa Indonesia, then the researcher will choose the English version entitled The Alchemist as the first research object. Then, the researcher
will choose Sang Alkemis by Tanti Lesmana as the second research object since the second title is the translation of the first research object.
C. Instrument and Data Gathering Technique
In conducting the research, the research used two kinds of instruments namely human and document. The researcher was the human instrument himself
and his task was to find all of the valid and reliable data in order to support the analysis during the research progress. Then, the document one was the means of
analysis; the researcher looked for the reliable and valid data from the document. When he had done finding the reliable and valid data, the researcher documented
all of the data for the sake of analysis. Next, the researcher did the data gathering as follows. First, the researcher
highlighted all of the relative clause translation found in first research object, namely The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Second, the researcher highlighted the
translation of the relative clause found in the second research object, namely Sang Alkemis by Tanti Lesmana. Third, the researcher enlisted all of the relative clause
translation along with the translation found in both novels. Fourth, or the last one,
