Kiyosaki. There were three questions investigated in the study: what phrase logical and proverbial idioms are found, what procedures are employed by the translator in translating the phrase logical and the proverbial idioms, and what method are employed by the translator in translating the phrase logical and the proverbial idioms in the book.

The idioms found were classified based on Makkais classification of idioms and the translation methods and procedures of the translation of idioms were analyzed based on New marks approach.
