The purpose of this paper is to analyze, from an interdisciplinary point of view, the evolution of the term culture and its relationship with the translator's cultural or intercultural competence. The role of the translator as mediator and the behavioral and attitudinal dimensions of intercultural mediation are emphasized since the translator's cultural training has traditionally been focused on the acquisition of declarative knowledge. Several approaches for developing intercultural competence are reviewed and guidelines are suggested for addressing cultural competence training in translator and interpreter curricula that meet the needs of the Peruvian context.
