Term is a word or word-combination which denotes the notion of a special realm of communication in science, industry, technology, art, in a definitive field of knowledge and human activity, that is a special purposes linguistic unit (Лейчик 2007). In this context, the article develops the analyses of writer’s master thesis about the translation of Indonesian terminology standardization directory for computer application ‘Panduan pembakuan istilah penggunaan komputer dengan aplikasi komputer berbahasa Indonesia’ that were set up by the TIM INPRES ‘the Presidential directive teams’ of Indonesia, Number 2/2001. The analyses result was that identifiable numerous approaches of equivalent, and these categorizable inconsistance in the translation process.
