During a class at a regular school, a Haitian Creole interpreter, due to his lack
of knowledge of the Brazilian popular expression "Ele bateu as botas" (He kicked the bucket),
had difficulty conveying the meaning of the phrase. He had never heard this expression before
and was unaware of its meaning. On another occasion, during a Brazilian Sign Language
(Libras) class at the university, a deaf teacher greeted the class with gestures that referred to a
popular song, and the interpreter was able to correctly reproduce the greeting because he was
familiar with the movements associated with the song's lyrics. This research project aims to
explore the relationship between culture and the act of interpreting from one language to
another, focusing on the linguistic pairs of Libras and Haitian Creole. The presence of Haitian
and Deaf communities in Mato Grosso is significant. The research will analyze interpretative
practices in educational institutions, aiming to promote an understanding of how cultural
knowledge influences interpreters' competence. The project will address specific aspects of
Haitian and Deaf cultures, with the goal of fostering quality and inclusive public education.
