Summary/Abstract: The translation of texts from the public service sector has the objective of developing students’ capacity to analyze a text from a pragmatic perspective, considering a syntactic, lexical and sematic analysis. Thus, the text is analyzed from a macro-structural perspective, from the linguistic expression, and the analysis is also focused on identifying the sociocultural context of the texts, meaning the speech analysis. The fields specialized in translating texts from the public service sector, European economic, judicial, medical, scientific, technical and media institutions are being investigated from this perspective when translating the texts. So, the economic sector deals with topics such as: types of companies and the negotiation field, the market and the inflation, from small to medium companies and then big corporations in the world of negotiations; the judicial field has topics such as: the origin and formation of judicial vocabulary, judicial concepts (jurisprudence, legislation), European rights (European courts, European directives). The translation process of texts from the public service sector is presented as a complex profession which involves a scientific strictness and an artistic perception and so demanding a pragmatic approach to reality, supported by a philosophical base.
