Abstract

As China and Indonesia have developed stronger partnership in economics and business, the demand for Chinese-Indonesian bilinguals is increasing. Higher education institutions should answer this demand by providing proficient bilinguals, who would provide a fine translation work. In the process of translation, the translator is demanded to transfer the content from source language (SL) into target language (TL), while obeying the structure of the TL itself. In the process of translating from L1 to L2, the translator might not have problems in understanding the information presented in the SL text, which is his/her L1, but might have difficulties in transferring the information into the TL text, which is his/her L2, especially if the translator him/herself has not reached a high level of L2 proficiency. To understand the difficulties of acquiring L2 and producing fine translation in L2, the writer would conduct an error analysis in the learners’ translation works. The participants of this research are Chinese department’s senior students. The purpose of this research is to find out the influence of learners’ L1 in L1 to L2 translation, define the causes and thus provide suggestion on how to minimize the negative transfer of L1 in the translation learning process.
