LITERATURE REVIEW
Translation process may help human to know other language meaning due to various of languages in the world. The process of translating the text has affected many people in maintaining their communication with one another, (Fenton, 2014, p.38). One of the media that is used by people in order to ease the process is Translation tool. According to Goutte, Cancedda, Dymetman, & Foster (2009, p. 131), Transtool is a machine translation that is developed by combining syntactic information into machine translation system. Transtool might be used by people who want to understand about the meaning of words and sentences from a language to another languages and one of them is Indonesian to English or from English to Indonesian. It might be able to translate words, sentences and web pages between any combinations of the supported languages that is adjusted with the target language or in other words, the language has been control in order to find fix term, (Cardey, Greenfield, and Wu ( Cited in Frederking & Taylor (2005, p.38). Followed by, Maulinda (2017) in specific wrote that Google Translate is known as media social networking which almost every people used it to translate or to understand about the meaning of the words and sentences by online. Furthermore, Ismail (2016) wrote that Google Translate can also be used to minimize the student"s translation tasks because the translation results are promptly produced. The translator is also assisted with the easiness and availability of the machine which are online and accessible to anyone.
According to Robinson (2012, p.16), "the most important thing is that of the translations be done reliably and quickly. However, it is important to know that the mot important thing in understanding meaning between words and things is identifying the words in different language that is adjusted with the context where the language is used, Benjamin (2014, p. 157).

The Feature of Translation in Trantools
The rapid development of technology has contributed for the translation activities, considering most of the books still in foreign languages. Therefore, there are many translators competing to make a new breakthrough in translation and the translator should be aware the fact that there are various type of translation and the uses.
There must be a different types in translating a text. According to Jakobson in Hatim and Munday (2004, p.5), there is difference between three types of written translation: The first is intralingual: the same language, which may involve rewording or paraphrase. The second is interlingual: cross language translation. The third is intersemiotic: translation of the verbal sign to non-verbal sign like music. In translation tool there are 5 features that help people in translating (Educatorstechology, 2016), they are as follows:

The ability of Transtool translating the sentence might help students in getting the meaning correctly.

The Function of Translation
Translation has different means for different groups of people. Robinson in Pym (2012, p.6) said "from the perspective of external knowledge of non-translators, translation is a text; from the perspective of "internal knowledge" (translators) translation is an action that aims at the producing of text". This means that translation is needed to do the specific translations.
Translation has a role as a function in interlingual communication activity around the world to gain information and the development of technology. Reiss in Venutti (2000, p.160) said "Interlingual translation is a two mediated process of exchange of ideas, which usually aims at the production of a target language text that is functionally equivalent to source language text".
One clear statement is expressed by Levy in Venutti (2000, p. 148) that "Translation is a process of ideas idea exchange through written or spoken language: the purpose is to communicate the knowledge of the original to the other reader who speak different language.

According to Wilks  (2017), Google translate in the form of an application is certainly much easier than having to carry a dictionary then the student feel helped by the existence of the application (Google Translate) to understand the lecture material that speaks English and they must translate it first then understand it. Moreover, the result of related study in empirical study, Maulinda (2017), and Adam Ismail (2016). The data findings also showed that statistical method of Google Translate, the inability of Google Translate to understand the contexts of the texts beyond sentence, and errors in the source texts that carried into translation errors in the target texts were the causes of translation errors found in the data.
