In applying her Model for Translation-oriented Text Analysis in the training of professional translators, Nord (2006, p. 155) postulates that the focus should be on developing transfer competence [“translation competence” in the narrower sense (Nord, 2006, p. 161)]. However, according to Nord (2006, p. 161), in translation classes, besides the consolidation of transfer competence, four other competencies (linguistic, cultural, factual, and technical) can also be enhanced. As an essential part of translation classes, translation textbooks play an indispensable role; by analyzing them, we can learn how these competencies are developed in classes. In the present work, we will examine three Chinese translation textbooks from Portuguese to Chinese and vice versa, based on Nord's considerations regarding the five translation competencies (transfer competence, linguistic competence, cultural competence, factual competence and technical competence). Through these analyses, we aim to understand how the consolidation of these five competencies is reflected in the structures and contents of the textbooks in question.
