Abstract

The present study highlights notion of interlanguage and errors made when translating statements from one language to another, especially Arabic and English, investigating the ability of third-year university students in translation by gathering thirty participants randomly to solve a translation test. Using 5-point Likert Scale showed no students achieved an excellent level, 66% ranked a fair level, and 67% of errors made are grammatical. This shows students need more grasp on the rules of both languages, since they have syntactic and grammatical differences revealed during translation that shapes the relation between two languages.
