description Translation is essential for bridging the linguistic gap between languages and cultures. Nevertheless, translators continue making errors and facing difficulties, especially with sensitive content and multifaceted cultures. This study attempts to understand key factors enhancing students' critical thinking skills when translating, which helps them develop a higher level of professional integrity. Therefore, to achieve the study's objective, a sample of 177 students studying translation at different universities was selected. Data were then collected through an online questionnaire and in-person visits to their universities. The study reported interesting findings. It revealed that both Ethical Awareness (EA) and Education and Training (EAT) positively and significantly contributed to enhancing Critical Thinking Skills (CTS) among the students. Furthermore, the study also reported that neither EA nor EAT directly influence Professional Integrity in Translation (PIT). The study further confirmed that CTS positively and significantly mediates the relationship between EA, EAT, and PIT. The study concluded by offering practical and theoretical implications for policymakers, educational institutions, and other interested stakeholders regarding ethical translation and professional integrity.
