Abstract

Achieving equality is quickly becoming a widespread objective in many countries across the world. To help in such endeavour, this project provides a translation into Catalan of the Equal Opportunities Act of Mauritius. The translation deals with a law from a different cultural context, which adds another layer to the translation process and offers interesting opportunities to deal with specialized terminology. Due to the scope of the project, some specific fragments of the Equal Opportunities Act of Mauritius, which pose interesting translation challenges, have been selected. The translation challenges have then been classified into four groups and, from there, the process followed to reach a satisfactory translation has been discussed case by case until solid conclusions have been reached. To facilitate this, monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, legal dictionaries, the Mauritius Government official website and other websites dealing with related laws have been used. In addition to the steps mentioned above, the project also offers a short account of the history of the island and its judicial system, as this was deemed necessary to contextualise the translation. All of this allows solid conclusions to be reached on the translation of the Equal Opportunities Act of Mauritius, and it also resolves common doubts in legal texts.
