Translation matrix refers to an analytical framework that organizes the interacting components of translation into a structured system for examining relationships within the translation process. In cognitive approaches to translation studies, matrix models represent connections among the translator’s mental processes, linguistic representations, conceptual structures, and external resources involved in producing and evaluating translations ^[1][2]. Such frameworks may arrange these elements into interconnected levels or blocks, making relationships between cognitive operations, translation technologies, and task-related factors explicit. The term does not denote one universally standardized model; its precise meaning depends on the theoretical framework and the dimensions selected for analysis ^[1][2].
