The aim of this research paper is to accurately describe the linguistic competence configuration in a foreign language course for student-translators. It is crucial to sort out the sub linguistic skills that a student-translator should develop during the teaching-learning process of a foreign language, all of which will make it possible for them to face the translation process successfully and come up with a highquality translation meeting the quality standards of the professional translation market. Unlike a foreign language course for communicative purposes, which primarily encourages speaking and listening skills, a foreign a language course for student-translators should encourage the development of a set of linguistic subskills, such as coordinated bilingualism, exemplary reading comprehension, outstanding discursive mastery, a broad knowledge of sociolinguistic rules, and solid metalinguistic awareness. Consequently, foreign language courses for student-translators should be designed taking into consideration primarily that translation takes place in written language. This implies that both textual competence and adhering to the writing canon of the language they are translating into are a must. In addition to that, thorough comprehension of the source text, which goes beyond grasping the message but analyzing the internal structure of the text, is expected. All in all, it is evident that being bilingual is not enough to translate and professional translation requires translators with an excellent command of their working languages.
