In terms of acceptability, the researcher finds that 37 data (80,43%) from 46 total data are acceptable, 6 data (13,04%) are less acceptable, and 3 data (6,52%) are unacceptable. In terms of readability, the researcher finds that 31 data (72,09%) from 43 total data are readable, 11 data (25,58%) are less readable, and 1 datum (2,32%) is unreadable. Most of the translations are accurate, acceptable and readable. Based on the analysis, English conditional type 1 may contain requirement meaning in its translation into Indonesian.
