Abstract
The article analyzes the ways of implementing a competence-based approach to the results of the future translators’ training in Austria. It has been noted that educational programs in this country are focused on the personal development of higher education graduates. It was determined the current state of societal development is appreciated by making programs and the educational goals put in them are oriented on the labor market’s demands. It is shown that the expected educational outcomes are represented by a set of professionally relevant competences that characterize a certain qualification. At the base of the future translators’ qualifications is a linguistic competence, which is based on solid knowledge of both languages: the foreign one and the mother tongue. Cultural or intercultural competence is closely related to the language competence and allows the translator to be an effective mediator in multicultural contacts. The following is a translation competence, which elements are the ability to recognize and solve translation problems and evaluate its quality. Textual competence is of a great importance and includes knowledge of the text theory, the ability to create own texts and adequately perceive them. Special competence is related to the translator’s specialization in one or more subject areas and, due to the increased translator’s knowledge in this field, increases the quality of translation services. Attention is paid to the super subject competence, which includes general erudition and encyclopedic knowledge in various fields. Social competence, which provides personal and emotional competence, helps to establish relationships with partners and colleagues. Information competence is the ability to understand and meet own information needs, to search the information and to work effectively with various information sources. It is proved that the formation of all above mentioned competences ensures the preparedness of translators graduated from Austrian higher education institutions to successful carrying their professional activities.
