Abstract
The current paper addresses the link between the pragmatic aspects of the language and its impact on translation. It further aims to assess and measure the overall pragmatic competence of English students and its relevance to the translation precision. A quantitative approach was used to achieve the objectives. 40 undergraduate translation students at the University of Nizwa participated in this study. The participants were given a pragmatic-translation test that consists of 4 different texts and 4 MCQs per text that examine their pragmatic competence and awareness. The answers were marked and classified into four levels based on Rafieyan’s [1] Classification of Levels. The results showed that there is a positive relationship of 40% between the pragmatic awareness and the translation precision. It was concluded that there is considerable extent of relationship between pragmatic awareness and translation quality.
