Summary/Abstract: The author of the paper proposes a stratified concept of a translation-relevant text competence which can be used as a basis for determining objectives of translation teaching as well as for developing teaching methods. This concept is based on the definition of a text as a communication tool within the translation setting. The proposed model corresponds with empiric research on translation itself, translation competence, translation teaching, and on cognitive, dynamic text linguistics. It is set against the background of various concepts that include text as a translation-relevant category.
