The purpose of this study is to reveal the tendency of research in the field of translation education with the analysis of scientific collaboration network, keywords co-occurrence and citations by taking into consideration of publication output, author, institution, country, keyword and citations. The Web of Science core collection database was used as the data source, and 652 recordings published from 2011 to 2020 were retrieved. VOSViewer and CiteSpace were applied for bibliometric analysis. The results were: 1) the publication increased with fluctuation from 2011 to 2020; 2) Olalla-Soler, Christian was the most productive author, and Univ Autonoma Barcelona was the most productive institution; 3) translation, language, working memory, and competence stand out in the research of translation education; 4) translation practice, implicit teaching, translation competence are the trending topics; 5) Kelly, Dorothy was the most influential author, Interpreter and Translator Trainer was the most influential journal, and “The Acquisition of Translation Competence. Competencies, Tasks, and Assessment in Translator Training” was the most cited article.
