The emergence of google translate makes easier for the translation process especially for English students who are supposed to use English in lecture activities. However, unfortunately their language skills or linguistic competence still vague based on the phenomenon found by previous researcher towards ELESP students’ attitude on google translate. This research aims to investigate students' linguistic competence and performance focusing on translation. In need of analysis, the researchers used a quantitative approach. The participants were 53 students of ELESP students that have taken translation courses which determined by using random sampling technique. The instrument used in this research is test. The result of the research showed that 39,7% were classified as good, 49% fairly good, 7.6% fair and 3.8% poor on the linguistic competence test. Meanwhile, in the translation task (51%) it is classified as excellent, (35.8%) good, (13.2%) poor. In addition, it is also found that 25,8 % students’ ability to translate influenced by linguistic competence. Moreover, there is a positive correlation coefficient between linguistic competence and students’ translation work. In conclusion, the majority scores level of students are classified fairly good. In addition, students’ linguistic competence and performance influenced their translation as much as 25,8%.
