Abstract

This study aims to depict the types of errors made by Instagram machine translation and to find out the most dominant types of lexical errors made by Instagram machine translation on ‘ctd.insider’ Instagram account. The design of this research was qualitative. The data were in words, phrases, and sentences that contained lexical errors made by Instagram machine translation on the “ctd.insider” Instagram account. The data were taken by running an Instagram account with various captions related to the lexical errors of the study object. The data were collected through stages: finding out and determining, classifying and separating the words, phrases, and sentences that contained lexical errors made Instagram machine translation on the “ctd.insider” Instagram account. The techniques of analyzing data, the researcher translated the captions using Instagram machine translation, and then the translation result is compared to the source language. The next step is to examine the lexical errors produced by Instagram machine translation. The research result shows the types of lexical errors made by Instagram machine translation on the “ctd.insider” Instagram account based on the error categories theory by Vilar et.al (2006). The writer found three types of errors in the lexical error category from various selected captions on “ctd.insider” Instagram account. However, three types of error are not found in every datum. In addition, incorrect and missing words are the most frequent errors found in the various data of “ctd.insider” Instagram account. On the other hand, it also shows that Instagram machine translation cannot represent the genuine language. It is because so many errors resulted from Instagram machine translation. The users of Instagram need to filter every translation that is translated by Instagram machine translation before receiving it as information.
