This research uses a case study approach. There were 15 newspaper headlines which were delivered to as many as 15 respondents who were sixth semester students of the English Department. The data collection method is to talk about instructions to students before starting to translate newspaper titles. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis method. The data obtained is classified into several aspects of analysis including grammatical errors. The results of the analysis show that students earn a percentage depending on their abilities (application of grammar knowledge) or skills, how to translate local newspapers into English, it is true.

Introduction IDEAS, Vol. 12, No. 1, June 2024ISSN 2338-4778 (Print) ISSN 2548-4192 (Online) 109 Humans need to communicate with others.In communicating with other people, they use language.With language they can express their feelings, thoughts and desires.Alwi (2004:21) says: Language is human speech in general, the expression of thoughts and feelings with words.Language as a medium of expression usually has patterns that must be considered because we know language is a kind of system in communication.This is also evidenced by the following opinion: Language is a system of arbitrary sound symbols used by members of social groups to work together, communicate and identify themselves (Kramch, 1998:3).
In relation to language, Larson (1984:4) emphasizes that a translator must know the source language and the recipient language.Those who speak both languages well can often switch from one form to another very quickly without worrying too much about semantics.However, for complex texts, and where the translator may not be fluent in either language, learning the principles that will be presented here will enable them to make a more adequate translation.
In this era of globalization, English has played an important role in international communication.English has become the language of instruction in government offices and is the lingua franca of many countries.Also used as a medium of communication in international conferences, seminars, workshops and other purposes.Understanding English both written and spoken is very important not only in daily life but also in building communication between countries.With the rapid growth of English as an international communication, English has become a tool and foundation for people who want to continue to exist in this modern era.Understanding English will always imply an understanding of the rapid technological progress that characterizes today's civilization.Almost all books on science and technology are written in English so that ignorance of English will hinder our understanding of the science.Therefore, the ability to translate information in English into other languages will play an important role in sharing knowledge and technology to expand the reach of cultures and people in the world.
Translation will help others to understand textbooks in English that have been translated into other languages.This turn will benefit not only students to develop their own awareness but also others who do not understand English.Effects like these allow textbook writers or newspaper journalists to get their message across (Zhang & Web, 2019:115).As a result, many books on technology, computers, and English bestsellers have been translated into Indonesian.With so many interesting books now available in bookstores, libraries are the product of prolific translators around the world.They have made an important contribution as more people have access to these books.
Devi Ismayanti 1 , Yuyun Ruqiyyat Said 2 , Nurhayati Usman 3 , Muh.Ilham Nur 4  The Students' Ability in Translating Newspaper Headlines into English "A Case Study" Hasanuddin University's English Department has had a larger number of English graduates in recent years.There are quite a lot of graduates who are placed in various job vacancies, such as banking, industry, universities, companies, and others.The majority of them make teaching as a permanent profession even though their income is limited.Until now, there has never been any evidence that professional translators are graduates of English majors.This may be because to become a translator requires high competence and proficiency in English and Indonesian.This is the main reason why the writer is interested in translating as the object of the final project.

Method
Quantitative method is used as an important element in this research.Therefore, this research is expected to: Overcome the difficulties currently faced by students in translating newspaper titles, show grammatical deviations that students have in trying to translate newspaper titles, provide evidence of mechanical problems that arise in students' work in translating letter titles newspapers, showing the weaknesses and strengths of the students surveyed in translating newspapers.In data collection, 15 newspaper headlines were delivered to as many as 15 respondents who were sixth semester students of the English Department.

Data Analysis
The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis method.The data obtained is classified into several aspects of analysis including grammatical errors (subject-verb agreement, use of to be (am, is, are), verbs), tenses (present, past, and future), diction and passive voice).Subject errors were quantified and analyzed so that the percentage of correct answers could be known.Each subject out of 15 subjects was given the percentage of correct answers from 15 titles.Each category of correct answers is given in the table so that the advantages and disadvantages can be identified compared to other students.The greater the percentage of correct answers, the greater and higher the competency of the students surveyed.The low percentage of conformity is an indication of low competence in that field.

Results
The test result were analysed based on the performance of the students' work of translation.The translation test is the headlines of newspapers in Indonesia which are then translated into English by students who have taken "Indonesian-English Translation Theory".Consists of 15 newspaper headlines for 15 students.Based on the table above, the total correct answers are presented based on the given equivalence standard.It can be seen from this table, title number 7 (86.6%)seems to be the highest in terms of correct answers.This may be because the diction contained in the title is relevant to the student's vocabulary.This may also be due to the fact that the material is very familiar with the students' background knowledge.
The second highest percentage of correct answers is in title number 9 (80%).In this title, only 3 students did not meet the equivalence standard.The reason behind this is because students are already familiar with the topic.Other students (3) may miss the equivalence because they have limited vocabulary and are not familiar with the topic.
The third highest percentage of correct answers is in headings number 2 and 5 (60%).This title, students who answered incorrectly amounted to 6 students.This may be because students experience difficulties in tense, diction (choice of words) and other similar things before they are not familiar with the topic.
Unlike the previous discussion where four titles got the highest percentage of correct answers, there are also two titles (no.1 and 6) which got the lowest percentage of correct answers.These titles relate to "politics" and foreign issues so that students have difficulty in giving the correct response.This means that understanding of the issues and background knowledge of students plays a very important role in making the right equivalence.
The data are analysed based on the students's response (N=15).The data are presented in the tables and then followed by discussion and interpretation.This is done in order to show the clarity of types of responses as well as deviation.There are four the characteristic of deviation.
The above information tells a large majority of students surveyed commit mistakes in providing equivalences on the fifteen topics.As can be seen from the table only certain headlines receive higher percentage of correct equivalences.At the same time a large proportion of headlines were mistranslated by the students.This is one indicator that grammatical feature such as subject-verb agreement, diction, tenses, redundancy and passive voice.
Another significant phenomena about the tables is the fact that for example unfamiliar of word in the headlines newspaper.Overall percentage indicates that students habe the difference ability or percentage of the result of translation.Her work on translation reached 6 items (40%) and she only missed 9 items (60%).The missed items were number 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 14.The subject response was considered inappropriate because the standard equivalence should read as "political parties' commitment is claimed".The used diction was inappropriate in this case as "accused" while the correct diction was "claimed".The same things happen with number 3, where the answer was "DPRD Member of North Sumatra threatened criminal law" that should be translated as "Parliament Members of North Sumatra Accused of Criminal Act (Criminal law)" or "Member of DPRD from North Sumatra Threatened of Punishment".She did not use suffix -s in the word "member" while it refers to parliament.On number 4, her answer was "Science competition must be opened" while the correct answer was "Science Competition Must Be Transparent".
In the cases of number, her answer "There Are No Reason to Doubt Woman Legislator Candidates" while the correct answer was "There is no reason to doubt woman candidate legislative".She has the mistake in subject-verb agreement.She uses to be plural (are) while the absolutely use was to be singular (is) because subject was singular.On number 8, her answer was "wishing OSIS will be better" while the correct answer was "Expects OSIS to be better".Her word choice "wishing" was not exact and also, she use present tense.She is combining between present tense on the verb (wishing) and future tense in the modal (will) while the right diction was "Expecting" and added "to".On number 9, her answer "Hard work is a key of success" while the correct answer was "Hard work is key of successfulness" because it's mean Kesuksesan in Indonesia language.
On the number 10, her answer was "the first court without lawyer" while the correct answer was "The first session without lawyer".Her diction "court" was wrong because the meaning of court was "Pengadilan" while the right word choice was "session" its mean "Sidang".On number 12, her answer was "Golkar candidates are forbidden to scandal mongering another politics party" while the correct answer was" Golkar Card forbidden to insult another Political Party" and "Golkar Candidates not allowed to insult other Partical Party".She made wrong subjectverb agreement, in this number, there is singular subject and it's to be was plural and to be singular (is).On number 14, her answer was "Handling 5 Infraction In General Election" while the correct answer was "To Deal with 5 Election Irregularity" or "To Deal with 5 Election Misconduct".In word "handling" is does not appropriate for this newspaper headlines but that have to use was "to deal" its mean "tangani".

The wrong usage of diction also occurs in no 6, such as, "There is no reason for hesitating woman legislative candidate".This sentence should read as "there is no reason to doubt woman legislative candidate".In the case of number 7, her answer was "South Sulawesi exports 6300 by The Ton of Corn" which is not acceptable.The correct answer was "South Sulawesi Exports 6300 Ton of Corn".The problem concerns with the use of passive construction.This construction requires the preposition "by" to indicate the construction.On number 8, her answer was "Expecting school organization work better" which is not acceptable because the correct answer should read as "expects OSIS to be better".This construction does not require the present tenses ending with -ing (expecting.In addition, deviation also occurs with her use of phrase "work better" that should read "to be better".On number 9, the correct answer should be "hard work is key to successfulness" but the subject responded by providing equivalence as "hard working is key of successfulness".She made the wrong of present tense with added verb-ing in word "working" and actually that use is "work".

Discussion
Based on the data, students indicated that a small proportion of students surveyed achieved the correct response.It appears that certain titles seem more complicated to almost all students, and certain titles are seen as less complex.This may be due to their limited knowledge of translation, for example, lack of vocabulary, lack of terms about politics, education and economics.Another interesting finding is the fact that students need more time to work on translating newspaper headlines because in their opinion, they find it difficult to choose the right diction or choice of words to apply to the target language and the time given is not enough.
Another important phenomenon regarding tables is determining each student's ability to translate newspaper titles into English and their level of work.In this way it can help to know the challenges faced by many students.There are several factors that cause most students not to answer correctly, for example lack of background knowledge about grammatical structures, and unfamiliar words.
Experiencing more complex situations compared to other students in a group.It can be seen from the data that student 7 has a high percentage of correct answers up to 10 (66.6%) correct answers.Conversely, students who had a low percentage of correct answers were student 6, he only had 4 (26.6%)correct answers and missed 11 questions.Very bad of all the results in the table above.

Conclusion
Based on the discussion as a whole show that the level of students' abilities is very visible as depicted in table 2. This shows that the range of students' constraints in translating is very consistent with individual competencies, such as vocabulary ranges, grammatical competencies, and translation knowledge.The researcher gives suggestion for the reader or students to more occupy for read of local (fajar and kompas) and English newspaper (example: Jakarta post).This way, they can get the globalization knowledge and also indirectly can improve of
