Abstract: The article deals with establishing the role of emotional intelligence in the translator‟s job and introduces an integrated system of its development into translators‟ training. The research is based on the two-staged experiment conducted with operating and would-be translators recognizing their most frequent negative emotions as well as the causes of these emotions (stress-generating factors). It proves the job of translator to be psychologically tense and the one that can be placed in the same category as the jobs of high-risk operatives. Together with this, the research concludes an urgent necessity for emotional intelligence development when training would-be translators. Therefore, an integrated system of emotional intelligence development has been introduced into translators‟ training. It includes a range of curriculum (speed-and-load translation, anticipation development, high-risk simulation, handling relations) and extra-curriculum (stress management, memory expanding, concentration increase, speed touch-typing and speed note-taking) activities. According to the measurements carried out in the experiment with the use of Emotion Quotient Inventory, participants‟ emotional quotient has increased by an average of 6%. This proves the effectiveness of introducing this system into translators‟ training.
