A. Theoretical Review 1. Translation
CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW
a. Notions of Translation
Translation is a process of translating text from a language to another to make people understand the information of the text without necessarily learning
the source language first. Translation has various definitions depending on the experts who give such a definition.
Practically every definitions of translation emphasize how one particular language deals with other languages. More specifically, it solves the
problem of diversity among languages. Nida in Machali 1998:1 describes that translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural
equivalent of the source language message, first in term of meaning and secondly in terms of style. Looking at the definitions above, it can be said that translation is
a process to transfer the same message from a SL to a TL with the closest natural meaning.
Moreover, Munday 2001:5 says that the term translation refers to the general subject field, the product and the process. Translation as a product is the

It focuses on the translator ‟s activity to translate. It deals with the role of translator
