dc.description.abstractThroughout history, translation has had a notable role in the spread of knowledge. Contrary to what is assumed, translation is not confined to just finding the equivalences of words. Translators are quite active in the translating process, and translation,as a multidimensional act, requires variousskillsandresponsibilities.However,despitethefactthat translation is a very old human activity, translation as a profession seems to require more time to gain the desired status, which is the focus of thisstudy. This study aims to reveal prospective translators’ perceptions about their future profession before they start working as professional translators, and it focuses on students’ viewpoints about translation, translators, status of translators and theprobable ways to enhance the status of translators. Hence, 23 second-year students enrolled in the Department of Translation and Interpreting Studies were included in this study. Data were collected qualitatively through reflection papers and open-ended question forms that aimed to elicit the participants’ views regarding the definition of translation and suggestions about improving the status of translators. The findings indicate that translator trainees have different descriptions regarding translation, translators, and translation processes and think that translators have low-status. The study provides a number of suggestions of prospective translators to increase the status of the profession.
