The abstract was then analyzed and classified based on translation techniques based on Molina and Albir's classification (2002). The data was calculated to find the dominant translation technique. Finally, the authors report the findings that there are 247 analyzed data found from Indonesian to English. From 18 translation techniques from Molina and Albir, the translator found 5 different techniques.
