There are many ways in translation, such as by machine translation. One of machine translations used by people is Google Translate. But, there are many problems faced while we use machine translation. It involves ambiguity and ill-formedness, because the structure of one language and another is different. The aim of this research is to analyze the result of translation of Indonesian text into English by Google Translate. In this research, the method that is used is a descriptive qualitative research method. A qualitative descriptive research method involves is the collection of extensive words, sentences, and the take not form of numbers. This research is focused on the process more than the result. The results of this research are 51 errors from 25 data. The biggest errors are errors in function words, 53 errors (43,44%) and the second are errors in miss-selection of words with similar meaning, 47 errors (38,53%). In addition, the writer also finds out any structure-shifts occur that made by Google Translate while doing translation of Indonesian into English. There are 22 shifts (18,03%) in structure shifts. Based on the research, the writer found three possible causes of the errors done by Google Translation. First Google Translation like other automatic translation tools, has its limitations, it does not always deliver accurate translations. Second, Google Translation does not apply grammatical rules and third Google Translation uses statistical matching to translate rather than a dictionary/grammar rules approach.
