Abstract

Based on the results of an online survey conducted in May 2018, this essay explores what Hungarian literary translators consider important/unimportant competences from a professional viewpoint and discusses the possible reasons behind their choices together with the potential consequences. These choices also influence their professional attitudes and self-image, and most probably the quality of the literary translations themselves. The consensus is that literary translators need to have a talent for literary translation, a few textual-cultural competences, and some language skills, while they can do without a profound knowledge of translation theory, any preparation for the task in question and having a translation strategy. However, it seems that younger generations focus more on the trainable aspects of the profession, and professionalisation of literary translation is under way in Hungary.
