This research was aimed to investigate the type of lexical collocation that the most often erroneously translated by English students and Law students in undergraduate theses‘ abstracts. Moreover, this research was aimed to uncover which was better in translating the lexical collocations in undergraduate theses‘ abstracts between English students and Law students. This research used a quantitative approach with a comparative design. The corpora of this research were 30 undergraduate theses‘ abstracts written by both English and Law students in 2021 that were taken by using the documentation technique. The data were analyzed by; 1) comparing the translation results of lexical collocations from Indonesian into English; 2) the translation results in each lexical collocation were judged as error and correct translation; 3) the frequency of error and correct translation were calculated by using the percentage formula. The results revealed that Adjective + Noun collocation was the most often erroneously translated by English students. Likewise, the most often error translated by Law students was Adjective + Noun collocation. In addition, the number of translation errors in lexical collocations was higher in undergraduate theses‘ abstract of Law students than in undergraduate theses‘ abstracts of English students. In conclusion,English students had better translations in translating the lexical collocations in undergraduate theses‘ abstracts than Law students had. This research implies that both parties students still need improvement in translating lexical collocations in their undergraduate theses‘ abstracts.
