The data consists of 100 sentences containing at least a subject and a predicate. The results show that the most types of idiomatic expressions contained are Phrasal Verbs Idioms with forty-six (46) data and the dominant use of translation strategies is the componential strategy with sixty-two (62) data followed by the least idiomatic expression is Irreversible Binomial Idioms with only two (data) and the least translation strategy is the transference strategy with thirty-eight (38) data.
