To comprehend the meaning of “settled”, the S2 accesses an offline bilingual dictionary Kamus2, and thus she gets one equivalent, “mantap”.
However, she considers using the terms “membuatnya sirna”, which suddenly appear in her mind although the dictionary does not have these terms as the
equivalents for “settled”. Not to mention, she translates the SL which only consists of one word into the TL that becomes two words.
The above tables affirm that the S1 spends a lot more time solving this problem than does the S2. Both of them use the aids, i.e. electronic dictionaries,
but the S2 is somewhat different in finding the fixed translation to resolve this problem. Their translations for this term are very different from each other.

are “melawan”, “berlawanan dengan”, “menentang, “melanggar”, “pada”, “untuk”, and “terhadap”. Eventually, she makes a decision that “berlawanan”
should be applied to the translation. With that being said, the S1 converts the word class from a preposition into a verb.

The S2 thinks of typing “membelakangi” after consulting and inferring from the offline bilingual dictionary, i.e Kamus2. It shows that she is able to
comprehend and re-express the term in the TL. Even though the exact expression that she uses is not provided in the dictionary, it is still has a very close relation to
the ones in Kamus2.

Both subjects employ the same way, which is related to comprehension of the term, to solve this problem by using dictionaries. It can be seen from the
tables that the S1 spends more time than the S2 does.
