description of the translation phenomenon is the task of the theory of translation.”. This fourth
edition has been fully revised and continues to provide a balanced and detailed guide to the
theoretical landscape. Despite later work from a cognitive perspective including think-aloud
protocols (where recordings are made of translators’ verbalization of the translation process as they
translate), this is an area of research which is only now being systematically analysed. (C) Function-
oriented DTS describes the function of translations in the recipient sociocultural situation. He

characteristic has been the interdisciplinarity of recent research. The quantitative data were analyzed
using ANCOVA while the qualitative data were extracted through the procedure of content analysis
by pinpointing and condensing meaning units as well as codifying and sorting the commonalities out
of the comments extracted from the responses to the interviews. The results revealed that the current
curriculum was moderately effective in providing the students with the necessary translation
competencies. Despite this conscience shared by the Translation Studies scientific community, the
translator’s image in Portugal, as it is viewed by the Portuguese community, suggests a distinct
