Nevertheless, university teachers are faced with the challenge that students translation teaching should have a resilient methodology. Translation teaching is supposed to be guided by some academic principles. Thus, finding out the key trends in teaching translation research field is ultimately acute.

The subject of the research is Scopus articles database for the past 10 years covering the material concerning translation teaching. The first limitation of this research is the sampling from one database. The second limitation is that the research is based only on the articles in scientific magazines published for the past decade.

The aim of the article is to reveal the most acute issues in the research field, namely:

2) associated fields and topics.

The methods applied are: search strategies, sampling, content analysis and categorization.
