Abstract: Abstract This paper critically examines the concept of communicative translation competence within the context of translation assessment evolution. It delineates the transition from conventional text-centric evaluation methods to a more integrated assessment framework that encapsulates linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic proficiencies. The discourse advocates for an inclusive assessment model that mirrors the complex realities of translation tasks, incorporating insights from contemporary research. The treatise posits that translation assessments should extend beyond mere bilingual text conversion to encompass a translator's adeptness in managing intricate communicative environments. This proposed model seeks to synchronize translation evaluation practices with the practical exigencies of the field, thereby cultivating translators proficient in mediating linguistic and cultural nuances.
