For many years, translation into the foreign language has been ignored in the field of translation studies. Since it is considered an impossible and non-recommended task, many international institutions have banned this practice. However, in Peru, where its citizens are not native speakers of a foreign language like English, there is a need for professionals who can translate into this language. As a result, universities offering the Professional Translation and Interpreting program (TIP) provide courses of translation into the foreign language designed to train students to produce texts in this language, and, regarding the university observed, to also develop their confidence to perform this task. Since confidence is one of the feelings the students experience when they judge their translation skills, and self-efficacy involves these judgements, self-efficacy in translation into the foreign language is the object of this study. Even though there are studies that analyze the relationship between self-efficacy, translation competence, and translation, it is necessary to further examine how these first two concepts affect translation into the foreign language. Therefore, this study aims to explore the different factors that influence the construction of self-efficacy concerning Spanish into English translation, to identify the impact of self-efficacy on English proficiency regarding the students’ performance in their first Spanish into English translation course, and finally, to describe how the mastery of translation competence affects the success of said course. Based on interviews with TIP students in Lima, self-efficacy and translation competence were found to have an effect on the students’ performance.
