The source of the data is a pharmacy text entitled “Phytochemical Methods: a Guide to Modern Techniques of Plant Analysis” as the ST and its translation version entitled “Metode Fitokimia: Penuntun Cara Modern Menganalisis Tumbuhan” as the TT. The data are analysed based on Bogdan and Biklen’s stages/steps;searching the data, arranging the data and interpreting.The validity of the data is taken by applying investigator triangulation i.e. by assessing the analysis to two key informants; a proffessional translator and a pharmacy expertise.Based on the analysis, it is found that there are: (1) 106 data are translated by applying single translation procedure, 32 data are translated by applying couplet translation

procedure and 2 data are analysed by applying triplet translation procedure,most of the data are translated by applying modulation as the translation

procedure, (2) from 18 translation procedures applied by the translator, only two of them are oriented to the source text, while the rest are oriented to the target text, (3) in the case of the translation quality, this translated textbook is considered has average quality and fairly good to be used as additional textbook but not as a guidance book since 46.9 % data are accurate, 38.6 % are less accurate, 14.5 % are inaccurate based on its accuracy. Based on its acceptability, 20.3 % data are acceptable, 64.1 % are less acceptable and 7.6 % are unacceptable. Based on readability, 29. 7 % data have high readability, 57.2 % have middle readability and 13.1 % have low readability. These are indicating that there should be a special board for insuring the translation quality for such a serious text as pharmacy text since it deals with human health.
