The most frequent transformations are substitution of grammatical category and sentence structure, transpositions. Less frequent transformations are word-for-word translation, partioning and integration of sentences.

In this paper we propose to study, through the results of the reflexive activity of verbalization, cognitive and metacognitive strategies that advanced Polish native learners in French are implementing to construct their representations of the functioning of the French grammatical aspect.The value of the grammatical aspect, expressed in French by the opposition between the passé composé tense and imparfait tense, do not completely coincide with that of the Polish aspectual opposition between perfective and imperfective verbs. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze the impact of implicit and explicit knowledge from the source language on the construction of the operational rules concerning the grammatical aspect in French. In particular, it will be aimed to characterize the nature of this knowledge and verify how the educational culture of Polish learners affects the processing of grammatical input of the target language.

When the system or structure of language is used and influenced by other languages, it is called interference, and it may ruin the concept of structures.   This research is about Arabic phrase construction that influenced Javanese phrase construction in classical books translation (TKK). This involvement appears when the concept of Arabic’s construction is translated literally into Javanese.   The research was carried out by applying theories of interference and translation. It’s analysis approach with contrastive analysis which is allegedly enabled errors to be predicted from a comparison between Arabic’s and Javanese’s phrase construction. The data were found and collected from several classical books in Arabic language (KKbA) translated by different writers. The results show that Javanese phrase construction (as the target language), particularly, with noun phrases,  with adjectival phrases, with numeral phrases, and with prepositional phrases was influenced by Arabic’s murakkab or Arabic phrase construction (as the source language). Arabic has its own concept of phrase construction.  The phrase construction cannot be translated into Javanese directly through word-for-word translation or literal translation. Thus, Javanese in TKK became inconvenient and ungrammatical. Arabic phrase construction is flipped around (with noun phrases and adjectival phrases) and prepositions are used and translated improperly or in the wrong position (with prepositional phrases). This research has many implications for further use, such as: for the identification and description of the deviation of  Javanese phrase construction which has been affected by direct translation from the Arabic language,  and furthermore, to increase the knowledge of those who are learning by increasing the realization and awareness in writing and translating (especially from Arabic to Javanese) about the fact that  Arabic and Javanese  have their own regulations or patterns which are  different  then the other language.  keywords;Influence; Literal Translation; Phrase Construction ; Murakkab

The complexity of transferring language might mislead students as translators to mistranslate texts due to errors. Errors can be in the form of a message (meaning) or language, which also consists of grammar and lexicon. Transferring language also needs consideration of equivalent language transfer from the source language (SL) to the target language (TL). The present research identifies the error types, the source of errors, and the types of idiomatic translation that were done by English Department students of University of Islam Malang. The subjects of the research were 77 of the fifth semester students who took Translation course. The core data of this research were the students' translation works from English to bahasa Indonesia and unstructured interviews. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design. The data of the research were obtained from the result of the students' translation during the course. The data obtained also showed that more students commit errors on language than errors on message. The errors of language exist in the form of lexical aspect; they are conjunction, verb, and noun. In addition, the source of errors tends to happen because of the interlingual factors than the intralingual factors. The idiomatic transfer from the source language to the target language was done by shifting the meaning of idiom, instead of through word to word translation.

The object of this article is metaphorical terms in EU legal discourse. It discusses the concept of a metaphorical term, the usage of such terms in EU legal acts and their role in modern LSP texts, with a focus on their translation. The study analyses metaphorical terms with the lexeme “green” as used in secondary legislation, published between 2016 and 2017, and the motivation of term formation in the source language and translation strategies of rendering these terms into Lithuanian and Italian. The results suggest that in most cases word-for-word translation is used when translating colour-based metaphorical terms, thereby preserving the colour lexeme of the source language in the target language and, thus, the metaphorical character of the term itself. Although the study covers a relatively short period, it confirms the idea that has already been raised in some papers on terminology about an increasing trend of using metaphorical terms in Lithuanian legal texts, even though this is less persistent than in Italian, the language chosen for comparison.

The Google Translate service is widely used in Indonesia because it is considered very helpful, including being used by the Grab application platform, which the public has increasingly used in recent years. This research focused on the study of translation used in conversations between drivers and consumers. There were indeed many kinds of research on translation, but not many have discussed the translation used on Grab platforms. This research aimed to describe some of the translation styles used and deemed necessary for Grab and Google Translate improvement. Researchers used a qualitative approach by presenting data in the form of descriptions and analysis. Several points were found to be improved in the process of translating sentences in the grab application, including omitting the translation into the target language, word by word translation, inconsistency in translating a term, the application was unable to detect abbreviations, so it was not translated, the interrogative sentence in the source language was translated into a statement sentence in the target language. This research had many limitations so that other researchers can develop it more widely in the future.
