Abstract

There are many ways of translating sentence according to its function. One of the most common ways in translating is by using the translation machine namely Google Translate. But there are still many problems faced while we use this machine translation, such as it involves ambiguity and vagueness because the structure of one language and another is different. Especially between English and Javanese structures. This research aimed at analyzing the results of translation of English imperatives into Javanese by Google Translate. This research used a descriptive qualitative research method that focuses on the imperative sentences in English into Javanese used to give a command, request, invitation, prohibition, advice, suggestion, and compulsion. The results showed that translation of English imperatives into Javanese by Google Translate was generally considered as inappropriate, inaccurate and incorrect translation. There were some errors and inconsistency translations of English imperatives’ markers into Javanese, such as in command, request, invitation, prohibition, advice, and suggestion. Based on the finding from this research, it can be concluded that Google Translate still needs some improvements in translating the output precisely in the meaning of English imperatives into Javanese.
