What can be seen here is the factors influences the translator in translating or reproducing the text. Translation study has found its close relationship with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). There are many studies conducted by previous researcher who have successfully liked translation study and CDA. Therefore this research also tries to prove the link between translation study and CDA. Its focus is to determine the translator's ideology in translating news headlines. The researcher randomly took 20 news headlines from B2B, a news website, in order to get the authentic data. The news headlines taken as the data are translated by one translator. This analysis is based on the first model of method proposed by Al-Hejin adopted from Norman Fairclough. The finding shows that the translator transmitted her ideology and view point into the translated news headlines. It was indicated from the analysis of textual dimension which includes diction, grammatical form, thematization, as well as addition and omission. From the result found, the translator tried to attract the readers by 'extreme' diction and grammatical form as well as omission and addition.
