A tradução de dois sítios eletrônicos da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia sob o viés da Internacionalização

Abstract

This senior thesis, interested in the internationalization process at Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), investigates its two websites of postgraduate programs (PPG), both with English language versions. After the elaboration of a translation descriptive study it showed that such websites are primarily informational, providing the user with content, such as the members of the programs, their coordinators, and their admission processes. The analysis of the website translations reveals problems of linguistic, cultural and translational nature, which urge the revision and translation of several contents, as well as redesign of some visual aspects. To promote a reflection on one of the aspects of the internationalization of higher education in Brazil, what is the internationalization of its electronic websites, some proposals are made for reformulations, and considerations are put forward aiming at a reflection on the internationalization of university websites and its interface with the translation studies.
