The CSI is identified and extracted into 80 data which classified based on Newmark (1988) and Baker (1992) classification of cultural terms. All data are put in pair with its translation and analyzed using Davies’s (2003) procedures, in order to reach the aim to determine the procedures of CSI translation.
