The purpose of this study is to describe the profile of students’ translating among modes of representation ability on physics. The ability to represent information into verbal, graphical, picture, table and mathematical representations in order to help students define suited physics’ concepts on solving physics problems. Participants included 28 11 st grade students in a senior high school in Bandung. The sampling technique is random sampling. This study used description method to describe the profile of students’ translating among modes of representation ability. The findings showed that students’ translating among modes of representation ability were classified in medium category with 54.44% of mastery. The highest average score on students’ ability to represent picture representations into mathematical format was 69.60% from its ideal maximum score. Whilst students’ ability to represent pictorial format into graphical reached 25%. It can be concluded that students’ translating among modes of representation ability is insufficient category.
