It argues that translation competence is an amalgam of declarative and procedural knowledge and that translati...

Based on the above discussions, we would like to point out three issues that seem to have created confusion and divergence among scholars in conceptualizing translation competence.
When speaking of translation competence, one may be reminded of Chomsky’s notion of competence.

For example, the translator needs to know the professional ethics of a translator, be able to use translation tools (e.g. computer-aided translation tools, term banks, trans-l...

The model proposed by Alves and Gonçalves gives it more weight by subsuming it under the category of the main cognitive set alongside specific translator’s competence.

This “possibility” is expressed as a noun—compare Mann’s “independence” and “self-sufficiency”—but it doesn’t belong as a noun in English: the ...
