Abstract

In this paper, I will analyse the theoretical framework of the cultural and intercultural competence in translation through the review of literature in the field. Furthermore, I will describe some definitions of culture with applicable aspects for the design of a future proposal of cultural and intercultural competence model in translation. Conclusions suggest the need for more empirical studies regarding the role/acquisition of cultural and intercultural competence as training programmes and teaching and learning activities are currently mainly based on theoretical notions.
