Emotions are a central part of human cognition and decision-making, and translation, being a cognitively demanding task, is not an exception. The present paper aims to address how translators' emotional states influence the quality of their work with respect to accuracy, creativity, and meaning interpretation. It also claims that emotional balance and emotional intelligence help a translator maintain tone, style, and nuance in the target language. The study also points out that both positive and negative emotions have differential effects on concentration and decision-making processes. Finally, it suggests that psychological and emotional awareness components should be integrated into training programs as a way to enhance translators' overall performance and resilience.
