Problem translacyjny w rzeczywistości translodydaktycznej

Translation Problem in The Reality of Translation Teaching Translation problem plays a fundamental role in translation activities on all levels. It triggers a chain of translation activities of which the translator may be aware or unaware. The course of these actions and the procedures adopted by the translator are dependent on type of translation, on components of translation setting which exists in a particular, real translation situation, on characteristics of the translation problem, on the level of problem analysis, as well as on the cognitive predispositions of the translator. Acknowledging the fundamental role of the translation problem in the translation process and accepting the assumption that the quality of the translation is directly dependent on the steps taken by the translator with the aim of solving and properly identifying translation problems , one has to consider translation problem as a category relevant to translation teaching. From the point of view of translation teaching, it is important to determine translator’s qualities, abilities, skills, and knowledge areas that have influence on the quality of actions taken with the aim of solving translation problems effectively. The same applies to attitudes of future translators. Moreover, it is the task of translation teaching researchers to develop methods which will help future translators achieve the expected level of translation competence. This paper presents a concept which could provide a starting point for designing translation teaching curricula.
