Translation is an activity that needs communication because it is a process that transmits a message to a person, so that it can be understood correctly in a target language. Communication is done through a medium in circumscribed situations in time and space. Each specific situation determines about what and how people communicate. Situations are not universal, but they are embedded in a cultural habitat, which in turn has an impact on them. Communication gets more complex when it comes to transmitting a message from one language to another. For this reason, translated texts begin to present cohesion and coherence problems, and this was evidenced in the text translation class because the students of modern languages at ECCI University began to have difficulties at the moment of translating, because of that, the main purpose of the present thesis is to give a detailed description of the communicative problems students face, when they translate in the specific case from English into Spanish and vice versa.
