As the other sciences, found many definition of translation. Various definition reflected expert's view which made definition about the truth and process of translation.

The first definition according to Catford :

(Translation is) the replacement of textual material in one language by equivalent textual material in another language (Catford, 1965:20)

You might be wonder because there not concept about meaning in definition. Meanwhile, the pointof translation could not be separate from meaning or idea problem.

Savory (1968) said the truth about translation that reach the concept:

Translation is made possible by an equivalent of thought that lies behind it's different verbal expressions. 

Savory did not explain more about the operational matter's or related process.

Process of translation according to Nida and Taber (1969). They stated : 

Translating consists of reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style.

Based on Translation book : Application and Research, Brislin (1976) gives broad limitation term of translation. To her, translation is a transferring of ideas from one language to another. Both of language could be similiar, like Sunda language and Java language, could be different, like English language and Bahasa, or even same language but used in different time, like Java language in Majapahit era and Java language in modern era. Unfortunately, in the definition does not imply a good process of translation and a good criteria of translation.
