Translation competencies are knowledge and abilities owned by a translator to produce good quality translations. One of the translation competencies includes the educational background and / or translation training that have been taken by the translator. Nevertheless, there are many translators in Indonesia who do not have the educational and / or translation training backgrounds. With this in mind, this research analyzes the relationship between the translation competencies, especially the educational background and / or translation training, with the quality of the translation results. From the analysis of literature studies that have been done by several previous researchers regarding to the correlations between the translation competencies and the quality of translations, the writer found that the translation competencies affected the quality of translations produced by the translator.
