This piece of research endeavours to explain why translator's competence is not
homogeneously distributed among linguistically acculturated members of society. It
transpires that the cross-cultural communication skills possessed by a translator are
not
often born or merely characteristics of his natural ability. Professional translation is an
evolved natural translation. Undoubtedly, it is training, deepened expertise, and constant
upgraded and updated cognizance of the technicalities and strategies of translation that
qualify a translator to overcome the ever arising problems of translation. The cognitive
activity of translator's communicative competence underlies his professionalism
concerning the issues of invisibility, interference, creative restructuring process of
problem-solving and decision-making. Quite contrasted to translator as transmitter,
accumulative malleable communicative competence creates the translator who is a genuine
cultural mediator.
