Idiomatic Translation Process in Translating “30 Reasons Why Employees Hate Their Manager by Bruce L. Katcherâ€� as the title of this paper discusses about the idiomatic translation process in translating a management book. The job training was conducted at PT INDUSTRI TELEKOMUNIKASI INDONESIA (PT INTI).

The method used in this paper is descriptive analysis. Descriptive analysis method was used to describe and analyze the factual condition of the problems found out during the idiomatic translating process.

In translating the book, there are two things to be concerned. First is to translate the equivalent dictions or terms in order to achieve the idiomatic translation. Meanwhile the second is the lack of the writer experience in translating various kinds of text.

Attempting to overcome the problems, firstly the writer read the text and tried to comprehend the message by looking up the literal meaning of the words or terms which are not understood over the dictionaries. Afterwards, the writer adjusted the meaning and the context, and attempted to translate the SL (Source Language) text to TL (Target Language) text naturally in order to achieve the idiomatic translation.
