Abstract

This paper explores the issue of translation competence evaluation by adopting Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), for AHP is a systematic and hierarchic evaluation system including a complex multi-objective decision-making method with multiple criteria, and multiple levels of indicators. Combining the quantitative method and the qualitative method, AHP has the merits of evaluating complex and difficult decision-making problems to obtain the optimal solution by calculating maximum weight, so AHP has become an important analytic evaluation tool in various field. Likewise, translation competence evaluation includes a detailed assessment of subcompetences, such as language knowledge application subcompetence, intercultural communication subcompetence, proofreading subcompetence [1] and so on, of which the components interact with each other and are not feasible to calculate accurately, thus formulating a complex decision-making system. However, AHP has the advantages in this aspect. Therefore, this paper attempts to study the adaptability and practicality of AHP in translation competence evaluation.
