Common Mistake when Translating from Indonesian to English.

a. Translate the Meaning of What It Is

Many translators make the mistake of translating the text verbatim. As a translator. You need to
translate a script into another language in the same style as required. There are some syntax rules for
different languages that you should understand before translating you must understand the use of
subjects and objects of various language. For example, you can't equate English to English translations
Arabic because they both have different syntax. Use a dictionary whenever you need to translate a text,
as it will understand you in the correct use of words. You can also ask a native speaker to check the
translation to make sure that the script style is correct.

b. Exaggerating the Meaning of Words

Beginner translators tend to overestimate translation tasks due to lack of experience. When they are in
this profession, they want to give their best. However, this is not to be expected if you become a
professional translator. To translate a text effectively, we must not overdo it with technical words or
sentences that are complex or even do not contain the intended meaning in the source language. You
must first understand your client's requirements and carry out the translation according to those
requirements. Understand the specifications that clients want and expect from you. Ask him what it
will be used for in the text to be translated. If it is for personal use, keep the translation simple.
However, if it is necessary for publishing purposes, you must comply with the guidelines or standards of
the publisher.

c. Using the Wrong Words

Novice translators often use vocabulary in the wrong context. There are certain words that cannot be
translated into other languages. Translators often find it difficult to distinguish words that refer to a
certain gender. Although in Indonesian there is no distinction between the words for male and female
gender. In Indonesian, this error is often related to the use of the words we, us, ours which often only
uses the word kami, and ignores the possibility of the word "kita" which indicates ownership.
Understand these rules to be an effective translator.
