Summary/Abstract: Although considered as having a secondary status in the discipline of translation studies, specialized translation represents nowadays the most common type of translation performed in our society. In this context, being aware of the challenges of specialized texts and understanding the difficulties of translating in a specialized field are mandatory for any translator student in translation studies. This article aims to present these types of difficulties as well as the errors that can occur as a result of dealing with a specialized text. The second part of the article contains a case study aimed at identifying the errors that occur while translating a technical text. The objective of the study is to find solutions to these problems and to identify ways of improving the teaching approach of specialized translation.
