This study was aimed of identifying the problems encountered in the translation of Andrea Hirata's LaskarPelangi into Its English Version Rainbow Troops, and strategies applied in the translation of Andrea Hirata's LaskarPelangi into its English Version Rainbow Troops. The theory of the problems and the strategies of translation in this study was based on the classification of Baker (1992). This study arrives at some findings in line with the proposed research questions. Based on the research, it was identified that there are five at-word-level translation problems in the translation of Laskar Pelangi into The Rainbow Troops. The problems, based on Baker's classification, were: 1) Culture-specific concept (23 cases, 61%), 2) The target language lacks of a specific term (10 cases, 26%), 3) The source-language concept which was not lexicalized in the target-language (2 cases, 5%), 4) Difference in expressive meaning (2 cases, 5%), and 5) The use of loan words in the source-text (1 case, 3%). In translating those words, the translator applied six strategies based on Baker's categorization, namely 1) Translation using a loan word or loan word plus explanation (12 cases, 32%), 2) Translation by a paraphrase using unrelated word (8 cases, 21%), 3) Translation by a more general word (8 cases, 21%), 4) Translation by omission (5 cases, 10,5%), 5) Translation by cultural substitution (5 cases, 10,5%) and 6) Translation by more neutral or less expressive word (2 cases, 5%). This study also offers some suggestions to improve the quality of the novel in the future translation project.
