Introduction. Cognitive processes have been extensively examined in the literature of translation studies to identify what goes on in students’ minds when they translate from one language into another. Such investigations targeted translators’ pauses over different texts from their native language into a foreign language. However, identifying translators’ revisions of different types of text remains sufficiently unexplored in the translation studies literature. Goals. This paper attempts to examine Arab students’ translation behaviors (self-revision or self-correction in particular) during the translation of a text from their second language (English) into their first language (Arabic) and vice versa. It also aims to reveal how revising a translated text is moderated by the variety of directionality and text type. To this end, 27 Arab native students were asked to translate two types of texts: literary and medical texts from English into Arabic and from Arabic into English over a keystroke logging program (Inputlog). Their behaviors were video-recorded using a video screenshot program. After translation, four students were invited to take a stimulated recall interview by viewing their behaviors in the video and were requested to verbalize what they were thinking of when they deleted and/or inserted text during translation assignments. Results. The results from the quantitative analysis showed that text type and L1-L2 directionality have significant effects on students’ cognitive processes. In addition, qualitative analyses obtained from MAXQDA revealed that students' translators encountered difficulties in many areas such as creativity-demanding problems, lexical problems, comprehensibility problems, spelling problems (for only Arabic-English directionality), and syntactic problems. Conclusion. Many cognitive process difficulties were identified which were related to psycholinguistics issues that need to be tackled in the translation studies.

“…Számos cégnél fontos min ségbiztosítási momentumként jelenik meg a munkatársak folyamatos képzése is (lásd például Pinto 2001), ami egyrészt a technológia fejl dése, másrészt a nyelvi tudatosság fejlesztése miatt elengedhetetlen. A fordítói kompetencia témája túlmutat a dolgozat keretein, b vebben lásd például: PACTE (2003, 200ő), Dróth 2003, Göpferich (2009 A fenti eredmények bepillantást engednek a fordítóirodák gyakorlatába, ám nem mondhatók reprezentatívnak, hiszen a kutatás csak néhány -f leg európai -országra terjed ki. Ennek ellenére kirajzolódik az a tendencia, hogy a fordítások megítélésekor általában az ekvivalencia és a megfelel célnyelvi stílus a legfontosabb, valamint az, hogy a min ségbiztosítás során sok múlik a lektoráláson, a megfelel közreműköd k kiválasztásán és a technológia használatán.…”

“…A fordítói kompetencia leírására számos modell létezik (például PACTE 2003, 200ő;Göpferich 2009), és napjainkban a lektori kompetencia is egyre nagyobb érdekl désre tart számot. Hansen (2009: 26ő) 1983 óta oktat fordítást és lektorálást, és tapasztalata szerint nem minden esetben igaz, hogy azok a hallgatók, akik jól fordítanak, jól is lektorálnak.…”

“…All the theories that have been developed have the same goal, that is, a goodquality translation. Studies on developing translation techniques or strategies (Bardaji, 2009;Chow et al, 2020;Molina & Albir, 2001;Ordudari, 2007), translation quality assessment (Angelelli, 2009;Colina, 2008;House, 1997), and translation model (Gopferich, 2009;Nurlela et al, 2018;Rosa, 2017;Volkova, 2014) are intended to improve the quality of translation.…”

The Translation as a Profession (TAP) course, offered in a translation study program at a state university in Sumatra, Indonesia, is designed to prepare its future graduates to become not only translation scholars but also professional translators and entrepreneurs in the translation field. Therefore, it requires a well-organized program and carefully selected learning materials. Previous studies regarding TAP course development have yet to explore how learning materials would prepare students to be professional translators. Thus, this study aims to explore further how the TAP materials help student translators become professional translators. This descriptive study used both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected using questionnaires and in-depth interviews with eight translation scholars and seven professional translators. The secondary data were documents. The questionnaire data were analyzed with a Likert scale; meanwhile, the interview and document with an interactive model. The results revealed five topics that systematically helped student translators to become professional translators. The topics are helpful because they provide students with skills (theoretical, practical, technological skills) needed in current professional translation practices. In addition, the topics also emphasize practical works in the form of translation internships that can be conducted in several small-scale translation businesses available in the local area.
