Abstract

This chapter describes the process of translating university exams, and in particular the translation of the UFSC entrance exams from Portuguese into Libras (Brazilian Sign Language). This is an extremely complex matter, involving translational issues that cannot be separated from Libras exam production. The research team describes the challenges they were faced with and suggests solutions for issues related to the translation and to the use of technology. Their project has opened up research opportunities in areas such as linguistics and translation studies but has also allowed for greater reflection on issues of accessibility and linguistic rights.
