Undoubtedly, dealing with translation one needs to elaborate special skills, which are taught in special establishments and on a special program “Translator in a sphere of professional communication”. Most students understand professional translational activity unclear and tend to catch this field of activity rapidly. However, translation is due to the complex nature and lifelong process. In this paper, the research area is aimed to analyze the understanding of Russian students’ concept of professional translation from the point of view of their future job. Respondents: medical translators (N- 38) and general translators (N – 34) are students at the universities. They completed a specially developed survey expressing their opinion on the accuracy of professional translation and improving professionally oriented skills. To accomplish the research statistical techniques were applied: graphical charts and tables were used to assess the correlation between obtained variables; a descriptive study through frequency analysis was carried out to analyze and classify respondents’ feedback.
