Abstract

This article examines interlingual and intercultural competence as an essential component of specialized translation competence. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between linguistic knowledge, cultural awareness, professional terminology, communicative context, and subject-specific translation strategies. The study argues that specialized translation cannot be reduced to the mechanical transfer of terminology from one language into another. A translator must understand how professional concepts are structured in different linguistic and cultural systems, how communicative conventions vary across professional communities, and how culturally conditioned meanings influence the interpretation and production of specialized texts. The article also discusses the role of interlingual and intercultural competence in terminology management, pragmatic adaptation, equivalence, professional communication, and translation quality assurance.
