Training of translators at the universities of ukraine: ethical issues of professional activity

Abstract

Nowadays there is no doubt about the need to include the study of ethical aspects of professional activities in the translator training program. In a number of universities in the curriculum of bachelor's and master's degree there are already disciplines "Ethics of the translator", "Professional ethics of the translator", "Translation ethics and diplomatic etiquette" and others. At the same time, the analysis of the content and structure of these programs shows that ethical issues of translation work are not given much attention. Their authors focus more on etiquette and regulatory aspects. Thus, translation teachers are given additional tasks to teach students the ethical norms of the profession.
