The result of translation can be called pre-translation which is still needs to be revised. Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Arok Dedes strory is one of Javanese stories that contain elements of culture. Translating texts which contain elements of a culture is not easy because one region to another have different cultures, so that it is difficult to look for parallel words that contain cultural, religious, social, customs, social organization, procedure, sign language and ecology elements, and Google cannot translate the term of cultural words easily. This study is aimed at two main purposes: (1) finding out the types of lexical errors made by Google Translate in translating Dialogue Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Arok Dedes story and (2) knowing the most dominant type of lexical errors made by Google Translate in translating Dialogue Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Arok Dedes story.
