Qualitative research refers to the condition and situations of students in depth and detail about the difficulties they face in the process of translating text from English to Indonesian. The sample of this research is third semester students at IAIN Metro for the 2020/2021 academic year. The object of this research is accuracy. To find out and describe the difficulties faced by students, researchers used research techniques, namely: reading, analyzing, writing and concluding from the results of the translation answers done by students. The instrument chosen in this research is argumentative text, as the key instrument that uses question and answer help sheets and student translation quality assessment tables.

The results of this study indicate that 40% or 4 out of 10 students have difficulty understanding the meaning of the source language, making it difficult for them to translate it into the target language due to linguistic difficulties, as well as their knowledge and understanding of translation, also still lacking. And 60% or 6 of 10 students also have difficulty in translating words related to cultural values such as difficulties in non-linguistic factors. Based on the results of this study, the researcher can conclude that the difficulties faced by third semester students at IAIN Metro are more prominent in non-linguistic factors than linguistic factors.
