Formal advanced training in translation necessitates establishing a career in an exceedingly competitive global industry. Conducting a systematic and comprehensive review of the research literature in the field of translation training can be beneficial for researchers and trainers. Thus, this article addresses research in translation training to analyze the findings of studies, covering a total of 1,088 published articles in major T&I journals from 2000 to 2020. Scientometric methods, as well as top-down and bottom-up thematic approaches, along with corpus analysis tools, were utilized to investigate the database. A multilayer (four-layer) classification system for the topics related to translation training was employed in the database. The research papers were generally categorized into four interrelated themes: translation teaching, translation evaluation/assessment, translation testing, and translation and technology. By employing a multilayer categorization scheme, the article presents the proportions of studies in each category and sub-category, including information on (co-)authorship, regions, institutions, journals, and languages. As a resource, the database distills top research for translation researchers, equipping them with the most up-to-date information on pedagogical practices, curriculum design, and the potential contributions of research. © 2024 Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile.
