Since many of those novels contain sexual languages, students need to be exposed on how to deal with taboo, vulgar and harsh languages. This research investigated how to produce a good and qualified translation of taboo, vulgar and harsh languages from English into Indonesian without creating pornography. The quality examined was its accuracy, acceptability and readability of the translation. The method applied in this research was descriptive qualitative with the strategy of an embedded case study. The source of data was a novel by Sandra Brown and its translation. The research reveals that the students and/or translators should handle taboo, vulgar and harsh languages found in sexual languages by applying generalization, modulation, euphemism, reduction and deletion as the techniques to translate such languages, so they are able to use polite languages which do not violate norms and values.  \nKeywords: teaching English, sexual languages, translation quality, polite language  \nA. Introduction  \nTeaching English through translation has been done by teachers for a long time. Many researchers have supported the idea that translation is a fun, motivating and enjoyable activity in language learning through several studies that they have conducted. Kern (1994) conducted an interesting study by looking at the role of translating as a cognitive strategy in the L2 reading comprehension process. He found that the students often used translation or tended to translate to comprehend the text. This study is also supported by Carreres (2006) who gave questionnaires to students and came to a conclusion that they amazingly believe that translation exercises are useful for their language learning.  \nTeaching English by using translation is also beneficial from the perspective that it allows conscious learning, and control of the foreign language, and as a result, it reduces native language interference (Shiyab & Abdullateef, 2001) . When using translation, students become active participants of the process; they are involved in the all activities, so that their learning becomes meaningful for them. The questions that should be asked when considering the role of translation in foreign language teaching include the types of translation, the function of the translation, for whom students translate, and which texts to choose. The text to translate should fit in the objective/sof learning, and the activities should also be adjusted to its need. When students need to learn to use polite language and deal with harsh or taboo language, they can be introduced to texts which contain sexual languages so they are able to understand how to cope with such problem.  \nThe translation of romantic novels containing sexual languages in Indonesia has been a problem since the establishment of Law no. 44, 2008 about Pornography. The definition of pornography according to the law is \"pictures, sketches, photos, writing, voice, sound, moving picture, animation, cartoons, conversation, gestures, or other communications shown in public with salacious content or sexual exploitation that violate the moral values of society.\" The definition clearly states that all writing","cbCaiq8t94dapDKq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq8t94dapDKq","pdf",416379,12,"English","# A.
