AB - This study is a follow-up to the investigation "Cultural Competence in Translation and Interpretation: Focusing on a Theoretical Approach." A survey was conducted in order to test the validity and reliability of the concept and components of cultural competence constructed by the researcher based on a theoretical approach. Through an operational definition of the theoretical research and a pilot survey, a research tool was developed and an online questionnaire survey was performed involving a total of 242 professional translators and interpreters. Through the survey, the validity and reliability of the components which consist of cultural competence were verified: cultural understanding, cultural mediation, and cultural transfer abilities. The findings of the survey also show that these three abilities are interconnected, thus converging into a comprehensive concept of cultural competence. It was also found that varying differences in the perception and practice of cultural competence emerge, depending on personal backgrounds of the subjects and particular translation and interpreting activities they are involved in.
