INTRODUCTION The existence of language would be needed in daily communication practiced by people. Language is related with culture and social system of certain community who use the language. This case may allow the differentiation of diction between some areas with another. Besides that, the complex community, the different areas, social statues, level of education, and the different types of social interaction will produce the variation of language. One of those variations is slang. Slang the non-standard language variety is seasonal, used by young people or a particular social group for internal communications that are not  members of the group do not understand, widely used for oral communication in many purposes, as many words quickly become outdated and obsolete because  of trends. There is no-formal classification in slang terms, except perhaps that it is a subclass of the language. Slang language is the linguistic prerogative of young people and generally sound odd in the mouth of an older people, (Holmes, 2001: 167). It is stated that slang is the linguis t ic s prerogative of young people and generally sounds odd in the mouth of an older people (Holmes 2001: 167).

Sociolinguistics is also the study of effects of various all aspects to society, includ ing cultural, norms and contexts on the language is used (Hudson; 1980). And also translat ion theory however, a good translation not only must be accurate but also grammatically correct when translate the text. As Tytler (1962, p.9) stated that a good translation created by translator who gives a complete ideas of the original works, the style and manner of writing should be of the same character of the original, and translation should have all the ease of original composition. So, good translators must pass an extraordinary array qualificat ion (Weber, 1984, p.1). The writer is interested to analyze Google Translate because the most famous and favorite trans-tool in the world, easy to access and easy to use. Google translate is free, fast and more accurate translation services that provides instant translation between dozens of different language.

Contraction 11. Informal Seplling Gonna Gotta Kinda Gona Riddim Yo Muttha Ya     Compar e to the previous studies inspired the writer conduct her research which had been done by Andi Nuroni 2013 Google Translate Problem And its post editing Technique of An English Short story into Bahasa Indonesia, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia stated that Google Translate not sensitive to cultural word, slang or word spelling and In Carmen Perez-Sabater's 2012 study of Facebook users, she discusses the use of English by native and non-native speakers on university Facebook pages. Both of the previous study have similarities is to know about Google Translate problem in translation and the slang terms uses in daily life And differences to this study and the two previous study by Andi Nuroni (2013) and Carmen Perez-Sabater’s (2012) Meanwhile the differences between this study are in the research questions. Table 4.3 Accuracy of the Slang Terms Translation   Scale Description 1 Classification I     2 Classification II    3 Classification III Accurate If the result of the translation can convey or express the message (strong emotion from the speaker) which is implied from the slang expression in source language. Less accurate If the result of the translation has been replaced by less expressive words, so the message implied in the source language slang expression cannot be felt. Inaccurate If the meaning of the slang expression in slang terms October 14, 2017 [RETCO 7 NATIONAL SEMINAR UNIROW TUBAN] 43     October 14, 2017 [RETCO 7 NATIONAL SEMINAR UNIROW TUBAN] 44    is not conveyed or expressed at all. Because the translation is wrong or the slang expressions are not translated. (deleted)   It can be concluded from the classification above, the translation using Google Translate can be seen above, and Google translate translated all over the word into the formal from of English to Indonesia. Google translate cannot capture the rhetoric, beauty, sarcasm of a language or emotional aspect especially in spoken language. The data that are translated into common word or phrase mainly slang expressions that are used as American member of Facebook’s style speaking. The expressions are commonly used in source language. Most of the data that are used common word or phrase do not have the proportional meaning, so the strategy does not make the information to be lost. The consequence of the use common word or phrase is the absence of expressive meaning of the speakers. GT  have less accurate to inaccurate translation from 20 slang have been found. Most of which less accurate is kind of contraction form of slang process. GT have capable to offer automatic correction for clipping form which is one or two missing letters. In translating slang expression use common word or phrase is caused by the difference of youth-cultural value, belief or affiliation, and norm between source and target language. In the source language (English), uttering slang expressions can be considered only as a style of speaking especially in teenager life, but in target language (Indonesian language), it is considered as rude, informal sometimes taboo or vulgar. This is why some  translators limit the use of Indonesia slang expression by translating the slang expression into common word in target language or omit the slang expression to make the translation more easily understood. In consequence slang expression are lost in translation.  D.  CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION Based on the data findings above, the researcher gives some conclusion. The result showed that the data which were obtained indicated that according to using Google translate to use in translation process. These slang expression cannot be translated directly into the target language because their equivalences are not readily found in Indonesia due to the differences of the target language youth-cultural value, belief or affiliation and also norm. (1) The problems that Google Translate have to translate in English-Indonesian  slang terms of social media post “Facebook” are Google translate translated all over the word October 14, 2017 [RETCO 7 NATIONAL SEMINAR UNIROW TUBAN] 45    into the formal from of English to Indonesia. Google translate cannot capture the rhetoric, beauty, sarcasm of a language or emotional aspect especially in spoken language. (2) The kinds of word formation English-Indonesian slang terms of social media post “Facebook” translated by Google that accurate only some phrase. GT have less accurate to inaccurate translation from 20 slang have been found. Most of which less accurate is kind of contraction form of slang process. GT have capable to offer automatic correction for clipping form which is one or two missing letters. Less accurate because the result of the translation has been replaced by less expressive words, so the message implied in the source language slang expression cannot be felt. And for inaccurate the meaning of the slang expression in slang terms is not conveyed or expressed at all. Because the translation is wrong or the slang expressions are not translated (deleted).Based on the research that is done by the researcher, the most appropriate way in translating slang expression is by using TL slang expression. The slang expression in source language are considered sometimes difficult to be understood, too informal, and rude or vulgar to be translated into target language. The changing also caused by the need of translator to make the translation correct in structure of target language and seems to be natural and understandable to the reader. Based on the conclusion above through this paper, the writer suggests for those who interested in analyzing or comprehending the slang terms, learning about slang terms is very useful for student to improve their knowledge of sociolinguistics. The students recommended to join the group of society who utilized the slang terms for improving their knowledge of language study and about understanding standard and non-standard languages which appear in society. So they will become self-directed linguistics learners who always practice in English and they still use Indonesian as their first language. Especially for the student of English Department education and teaching program of PGRI Ronggo lawe University, to study about slang terms is very interesting, so they must master the topics they want to discuss and they should enjoy in the search for materials they need to analyze in slang. They also find slang terms trough watching foreign movies, internet or slang dictionary that supported the slang data. Finally, the writer hopes that this study will be useful for the future improvement of studying literature, especially about slang as a reference for student of English Department education and teaching program of PGRI Ronggo lawe University who want to do the similar research. Future researchers are October 14, 2017 [RETCO 7 NATIONAL SEMINAR UNIROW TUBAN] 46    advocated to conduct research deal with sociolinguistics and slang terms which elaborates that area of different topic to enrich the study.
