Abstract

The purpose of this article is to report the process of building the international identity of Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), focusing on the Institutional Translation work carried out by its Translation Service at the International Relations Office (SINTER). We present the actions carried out between 2016 and 2022 that have contributed to expanding and standardizing institutional communication in English and giving greater visibility to the institution in the global scenario. Among such actions, we would like to highlight: the translation of institutional websites; the compilation of a Portuguese-English glossary, containing terms relevant to UFSC academic and administrative structure; and the creation of a writing guide in English. These and other complementary actions sought to approach the university community, joining efforts for the process of Comprehensive Internationalization underway at UFSC.
