Raka Alkautsar, Reg. No. 2130104054, entitled “Students’ Perceptions of Using ChatGPT in Completing Translation Assignments in the Translation for Specific Purposes Course (A Study of Sixth-Semester Students of the English Education Department at UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar)”, English Education Department, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, State Islamic University of Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar. The purpose of this research was to investigate students’ perceptions of using ChatGPT in completing translation assignments in the Translation for Specific Purposes course. This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The population of the study consisted of sixth-semester students of the English Education Department who were enrolled in the Translation for Specific Purposes course. The sample was determined using cluster sampling, in which one class was selected as the research sample. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The findings revealed that students demonstrated a balanced perception toward the use of ChatGPT in completing translation assignments. The results showed that ChatGPT was perceived as moderately useful and relatively easy to use, and students frequently used it during the translation process. However, students also showed a high level of awareness regarding the limitations of ChatGPT, particularly related to translation accuracy and contextual understanding. These findings indicate that ChatGPT functioned as a supplementary tool rather than a primary solution in completing translation assignments.
