The results showed that in terms of the accuracy of vocabulary and terms, Google Translate has a good translation quality. In terms of clarity and reasonableness of meaning, google translate has not been able to transmit ideas from the source language well into the target language. Furthermore, in grammatical, the results of the google translate translation do not have a grammatical arrangement, the results of the google translate translation do not have a good grammatical structure and are by following the rules that applied in the target Indonesian language.
