Abstract
Translation Studies are interdisciplinary. Their academic location is therefore flexibly practiced according to local conditions. This paper reports the specific history of university Translator Training at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where the author has been student, teacher and translation student’s coordinator. This history is unique, as Translator Training started in the Humanities and later moved into the Social Sciences, thus creating contact and cooperation between two faculties traditionally independent of each other. This article considers the relative advantages and disadvantages of Translation Studies in either framework.
