Abstract
The article deals with the standards of translator and interpreter training on the example of certain countries (Ukraine, South Korea, the USA, Austria). For the first time a comparative analysis of the requirements of the system of training translators and interpreters in the countries from different parts of the world was carried out from the point of view of the presence/absence of a standard for preparing translators and interpreters. Firstly, the categorical-conceptual apparatus was considered (from the notion of “standard”, “professional standard”, “educational standard” to some classifications of educational standards), and the notion of “standards for training of translators and interpreters” was defined. Then, the state of the problem in each of the countries surveyed was described, and an overview of existing standards was presented. It has been found that the issue of standardizing of translator and interpreter training is of significance in all above mentioned countries because of the annual growth of the global market for translation. The presence of national standards for training translators in each of the countries was revealed. It is found out that the national standards for translator training have some minor differences but in the main they coincide: national standards for training translators are educational standards that correlate with professional standards for the translator profession and meet current needs of the labor market. National standards for training translators in each of the countries serve as standardized tools for measuring the quality of higher education in the translation specialities. It is proved that in order to achieve goal 4 of “Quality Education” from the goals of sustainable development of Ukraine, the main factor is the conformity of the results of education with the requirements of educational and professional standards, including those for the translation profession. The authors see the prospects for further scientific research in the study of opportunities for a greater lability of standards for training translators and interpreters under the rapidly changing requirements of the global competitive economic market.
