Translation Competence

Translation Competence is the multidimensional professional competence that enables a translator to understand a source text and produce an adequate and acceptable target text for a specified purpose and audience by integrating and mobilizing interrelated sub-competences (such as bilingual, extra-linguistic, instrumental, strategic, and translation-specific knowledge and skills) throughout the translation process.
