Abstract: The focus of this article is to bring together, analyse and classify various studies on the operations performed by a translator during the transfer process from one language to another. Within the field of translation theory, these operations have been researched from a wide range of perspectives and have been assigned a multitude of labels, among which we have ‘procedures’, ‘techniques’, ‘strategies’, ‘processes’, ‘methods’, etc. In this article I refer to them under the generic name of ‘translation process operators’. The confusing use of terminology and concepts has encouraged the fragmentation of a branch of translation research that proves to be more homogeneous than may appear at first sight. This article draws on and analyses the overwhelming profusion of terms and concepts concerning translation process operators, based on the most commonly used notions employed by many scholars.
