Summary/Abstract: Equally confronted with students’ lack of general knowledge and with a continuously reduced interest in the translator’s job, the author tries to find solutions to this insufficiency and organize her lectures in order to meet the increasing requirements of this profession as well as to answer the university students' needs focused on the practical side of translation rather than the theoretical one. Therefore the correlation between the general and specific competences of translators are reconsidered, at the bachelor and master level, by granting a more important place in students’ training to the cultural competence, crucial in achieving a good translation. Besides increasing the number of hours of practical courses of foreign language and civilization, the introduction of internships for the young translators would be beneficial, would ensure their progress and would help them reach a satisfactory level of performance faster.
