Abstract

The research aims to present the outcomes of an analysis on the challenges encountered by fifth-semester students at IAIN Metro when translating English texts into Indonesian. This investigation is based on observations and analyses conducted among fifth-semester students during the 2023/2024 academic year. The data analysis technique employed is descriptive qualitative research, delving into the conditions and situations faced by students in-depth and detailing the difficulties encountered in the process of translating texts.

The research sample comprises fifth-semester students at IAIN Metro for the academic year 2023/2024, with the accuracy of translation as the primary focus. To discern and depict the difficulties faced by students, the researchers utilized research techniques such as reading, analyzing, writing, and drawing conclusions from the translation responses provided by students. The chosen instrument for this research is a descriptive text, serving as a key instrument that employs question and answer sheets, along with assessment tables for evaluating the quality of students' translations.

The findings of the study reveal that 40% of the students, or 4 out of 10, encounter challenges in comprehending the meaning of the source language. This hinders their ability to translate it into the target language due to linguistic difficulties, coupled with a deficiency in their knowledge and understanding of the translation process. Additionally, 60% of the students, or 6 out of 10, face difficulties in translating words associated with cultural values, indicating challenges rooted in non-linguistic factors. Based on the study results, it can be inferred that the predominant difficulties faced by fifth-semester students at IAIN Metro are more pronounced in non-linguistic factors as opposed to linguistic factors.
