Abstract:
This chapter explores the critical role of intercultural communication training in translator education, emphasizing its significance in cultivating cultural competence among future translators. As globalization increases the demand for effective communication across diverse cultures, it is essential for translators to not only master linguistic skills but also to understand the cultural contexts that shape language use. This chapter outlines innovative pedagogical approaches that integrate intercultural communication into translator training programs, highlighting case studies and best practices. By fostering an awareness of cultural nuances, biases, and communication styles, this training equips translators to navigate complex intercultural interactions successfully. Ultimately, the chapter advocates for a transformative educational framework that enhances the cultural proficiency of translators, preparing them for the challenges of a multicultural world.
