Findings: Problems occur when students want to get the equivalent of words in idioms with jar letters. The results showed that the errors made by students were generally intralingual errors, caused by limited understanding of changes in the meaning of words that form idioms, and macrolinguistic errors caused by incorrect cross-cultural interpretations. Implication: The findings in this study can be used as an illustration and consideration for improving translation skills, not only lexical and grammatical translation, but also idiomatic translation. In addition, this research also contributes to the novice Arabic learners about the diversity of meanings of harf jar that form an idiom
