SUMMARY:

This work is part of the research line Translation and Sociodiscursive Practices, developed in the Postgraduate Program in Translation Studies - POSTRAD and in the Laboratory of Technology for the Studies of Translation and Interpretation of Sign Languages in Brazil and the World - LabTecTrad. The object of study is Automatic Translators. The general objective is to analyze the translation processes carried by Automatic Translators for Brazilian Sign Language - Portuguese. The target audience for this research are translators who use these technologies as work tools. Therefore, it has the following specific objectives: i) to present a brief history of machine translators that use the language pair sign language and Portuguese; ii) search for government sites and institutions that use automatic translators in Sign Language; iii) interview the group that study, organize and create automatic translators and find out how many deaf people participate in these teams and iv) investigate their strengths and weaknesses in the construction of meaning in PL. The main motivation for carrying out this research came after i’m joined as a professor at the Federal Institute of Brasília - IFB, where courses are offered in Initial and Continuing Training - FIC, Technical and Higher Undergraduate and Postgraduate. All courses are free and open to the community in general and the call uses automatic translators as a form of linguistic accessibility. As a way of understanding this functioning, it was necessary to adopt the methodological path of Tuxi (2017) where we initially made the following path: i. organize a translation project; collect translations from machine translators; analyze the translations made by them and propose a translation. As a result, it was possible from the contrast performed, to propose a translation that we present in the form of QRCode and that we believe that in the future it can be inserted in the website of the Federal Institute of Brasília - IFB. This work joins the others in the field of Sign Language Translation Studies and hopes to reinforce the area.
