Both of the manuals are printed online on 2011 as pdf files and taken from www.samsung.com .  The data is taken from both of the manual versions. The source language (SL) data are taken from English version, as for the target language (TL) data are taken from Indonesian version. The data are consisted of 100 various instructions for the user of mobile phone. To analyse the data, the writer uses word level equivalence. First, the writer took 100 sentences from the sources. Second, the data then analysed to find words that is not literally equivalent and to analyse the strategies which are used by the translator. Third, the writer then gives comments about the naturalness of translations based on the strategies used by the translator.

The strategies are: (1) translation by a more general word (super ordinate), (2) translation using more neutral word / less expressive word, (3) Translation by cultural substitution, (4) Translation using a loan word, and (5) Translation by paraphrase using unrelated words.
