SUMMARY:

Writing and translating texts for defence of territories are ancient activities. Within the scope of the Brazilian Armed Forces, the translation of military texts was intensified with the participation of Brazilian troops in peacekeeping missions of the United Nations, in particular, the United Nations Mission for the Stabilization of Haiti. This study, inserted in the disciplinary field of Translation Studies, in its theoretical, descriptive, product-oriented branch, has the general objective of describing and analyzing the translation into Spanish of the Brazilian Defence White Paper. Specifically, the aim is to: (i) map the translation units based on the Brazilian Defence White Paper and its translation into Spanish; (ii) identify military terms in Portuguese and Spanish, based on frequency of use, used in the area of National Defence in the corpus; and (iii) examine whether the translation of the Brazilian Defence White Paper into Spanish uses terminology similar to that found in white papers originally written in Spanish. For this purpose, a corpus composed of three subcorpora was compiled, namely: (i) the Brazilian Defence White Paper (LBr); (ii) a translation of the LBr into Spanish; and (iii) the Libros Blancos de Defensa, produced by Spanishspeaking countries (LEsp), published in the last decade of the 1900s and in the first decade of the 2000s. This work is mainly based on Descriptive Translation Studies (i.e. Toury, 1995; Pym, 2017), in the concepts of domain knowledge (i.e. Scardamalia; Bereiter, 1991) and Translation Units (i.e. Alves, 2000; Hurtado Albir, 2007), as well as in Corpus-Based Translation Studies. The quantitative results point to the existence of an asymmetry with regard to the frequency of use of some terms in the source text and in the target text. It also presents a discrepancy regarding the total number of items and forms of both texts. This discrepancy is related, among others, to the structural differences between the two languages and possible imbalances of a translational nature
