Translation models disclose separate parts of functioning linguistic mechanism. Understanding of these models helps translator to solve difficult translation problems and understand deeply semantic structure and lexical units of the text. Komissarov, Russian theoretic and scholar, says that one of the most important part of translation science is designing theoretical models to explain general process of translation (36).

Predominantly, translation model may be directed to the some structures and semantic features of the linguistic units.

According to Komissarov, Russian scholar and theoretic, there are four types of translation models:

1. Situational (denotative) translation model;

2. Transformational translation model;

3. Semantic translation model;

4. Psycholinguistic translation model.  

Situational (denotative) translation model is proceeded from the real things, objects, phenomenon, relationship, situations, which have a place in real life. Part of a speech in all of languages, maintain an information about situation which is denotate word names.

Generally, environment in our word is same for everyone. Despite nationality and language, the world around, biological structure, industrial and vital prosecess of all human beings are universal. This fact means that people exchange thoughts about same phenomenon in reality. In this reason, any situation can be described by human language.  

During interpretation of the original text, translator associates text units with units of source language and define, which real situation is described in the original

text. Then, translator describes the situation in the target language.
