Translation is not an
easy work. It needs
a serious attention
and concentration. It
can be said that the
core of translation is
a transfer of
message. The
translator should be
careful in replacing
the meaning from
Source Language
(SL) to Target
Language (TL).
THE TRANSLATOR
In general,
Indonesian
or Bahasa
Indonesia is
used freely
by its users
both in oral
and written
form.
This means that the use of the language is in
practice deviates or misleads from what is
prescribed by the Tata bahasa Indonesia Baku.
Even if the
use follows
the rules,
there are still
other
problems,
one of which
is ambiguity.
