economics, technology, and education. Besides our country needs to absorb ideas
from western, we must be able to express our ideas to the advanced countries by
translating them into English. Petra takes this role. Students of Petra Christian
University are required to write the thesis abstract in English. We notice not all
Petra students have good skill in English, particularly in doing translation. There
are some translation errors that occurred. Therefore, the writer wants to reveal the
common problems in terms of content and grammatical errors. In order to find out
the content error, the writer uses Newmark?s and Barnet & Stubbs? classifications.
For the grammatical error, she uses Richards? classification. The writer takes the
data from some Management Department theses in Petra Christian University.
From the quantity of the content errors in translation, majority of Management
Department students make left out and different sense errors. For the grammatical
error, the predominant errors are error in the production of verb group and
miscellaneous error.
