Google Translate is a highly advanced tool, but it still makes many mistakes when translating from Indonesian to Arabic.

This research focuses on errors related to word choice and unnecessary additions that can cause translation errors. The text adheres to conventional academic structure and formatting, with a logical flow of information and causal connections between statements. The language used is formal, avoiding contractions, colloquial words, informal expressions, and unnecessary jargon. Positions on subjects are made clear through hedging, and bias is avoided. This study utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach. The data is collected through techniques such as documentation and interviews. The data sources for this study are students who have completed their theses in the Arabic Language Education (PBA) study program. The research and discussion revealed two errors in the translation of Indonesian to Arabic in the theses of students who used advanced translation tools. These errors included incorrect word choices and the addition of unnecessary words. Therefore, it is important for users of Google Translate to be aware of potential errors that may occur when using the tool. Additionally, Arabic learners should have a strong grasp of the rules of the Arabic language. The primary objective is to ensure that the source language remains true to its intended meaning.
