SUMMARY:

This research was developed within the line of Translation and Sociodiscursive Practices of the Graduate Program in Translation Studies at the University of Brasília (POSTRAD/UnB). The object of study focused on the conceptual terms essential for understanding and filling out the Income Tax Return (IR), targeting Deaf individuals, translators, interpreters, and other stakeholders in the field. The general objective was to collect, record, and organize term-signs in a bilingual glossary related to Accounting Sciences, with emphasis on the Income Tax Return. The specific objectives were: (i) to establish specific aspects of Portuguese–Libras translation in specialized texts; (ii) to investigate existing research on term-signs, with a focus on Terminology and Translation; (iii) to analyze the organization of bilingual lexicographic works (Libras/Portuguese); (iv) to identify the process of translating entries between Libras and Portuguese; and (v) to elaborate a bilingual glossary of Accounting Sciences, highlighting the specificities of the translation process in sign language. The research addressed topics such as lexicon and terminology from the perspective of the Brazilian Deaf community, strategies for communicating financial concepts to Deaf people, financial education from this perspective, silenced financial challenges, access to information and tax education for Deaf individuals, as well as the impact of the IRPF on the household economy of the Deaf population. Interdisciplinary perspectives on tax education and social inclusion were also considered. The methodological path was structured in six stages. The first involved data collection and definition of the target audience. The second, called Term-Sign Recording, encompassed the selection of signs and a bibliographic review of the concepts. The third stage focused on the organization of term-signs, with the production of photos, videos, and editing carried out at the Núcleo Varlibras Laboratory. In the fourth stage, translation and digital dissemination were undertaken, with the videos uploaded to YouTube and linked to the bilingual glossary through QR codes. The fifth stage corresponded to the definition of the macrostructure of the glossary, and the sixth to the organization of the microstructure. As a result, 30 terms were selected, prioritizing the translation of accounting concepts into Libras, in line with the sociocultural practices of the Deaf community. This ensured that the content was accessible and culturally appropriate, thus promoting understanding and the exercise of citizenship in the context of the Income Tax Return.
