Previous studies have discussed the quality of the translation produced by Google Translate which will be more acceptable and more accurate at the sentence level, but not at the verse or lyrics level with the use of words that mostly use figures of speech so that it will greatly affect the results of the translation produced by Google Translate. The data source in this study is the sort movie taken from YouTube channel produced by Ucup Klaten, while for this research data is the script in the Javanese conversation on the short movie. In translating the text, the important thing is the process to maintain the equivalence between source text to the target text. Translation methods that emphasize more on external factors can be used to overcome this problem, but this can lead to other problems, one of which is the equivalence of meaning.
