Figurative language is one element that is always found in poetry. This is so as by using figurative language, a writer can give certain effect to his/her words. Translating figurative language is a challenging task due to the process of transferring meaning as well as the effect attached to it (Nida, 1975). The equivalent should also be able to represent the local or cultural content within the SL. There are many kinds of figurative language, however, this paper focuses only into two kinds figurative language, namely: metaphor and simile. This paper aims at analyzing the strategy applied in translating the figurative language in a bilingual poem entitled ‘Calon Arang’ by Toety Heraty (2012). The analysis is conducted based on theory proposed by Newmark (1998) who explains strategies of translating figurative language. The analysis is expected to show strategies which are used in the translation process including: reproduction of meaning represented by the figurative language within the TL, the use of local figurative language, combining the figurative language and sense, and deletion of the figurative language.
