Langsa is a municipality in Aceh province of Indonesia, with a heterogeneous population consisting of many ethnic groups. Due to this, over the years, the Acehnese language has evolved as a regional language used in daily communication, especially in environments such as schools. The literacy skills of students in Acehnese language will determine its preservation in years to come. Therefore, this study aims to describe the literacy ability of elementary school students from Langsa city in translating texts in Acehnese language. Adapting to the new normal situation, the sampling method was carried out based on the recommended health protocol to randomly select students as the research object. Data were collected through observation, test administration, and the results were then analysed to determine the students’ literacy ability to translate the Acehnese language.
