> She resembles her mother in face.

This doesn't sound natural to me. I'd say "Her face resembles her mother's."

@sundown, what do you say?

I agree with you.

If you (the impersonal you) wanted to keep "in", it could be reworded to something like:

In terms of her face, she resembles her mother.

or use 'resemblance in':

There's some resemblance in her face to her mother.

but I suspect those would be straying from the other translations.
