This article provides a brief overview of the first author’s experience as a translator in an internationalization project under the supervision of the second author. The experience was an opportunity of gaining a deeper understanding of the characteristics and editorial processes of a Brazilian academic journal, Letras & Letras, supported by the graduate programs in Linguistics and Literature at Universidade Federal de Uberlandia. The internationalization process of the journal’s website, which was in Brazilian Portuguese only, aimed initially to have it translated in order to broaden the journal’s impact factor through the attraction of foreign authors and publications in English. In an attempt to reflect upon what has been learnt during the translation process, this article takes a functionalist approach to analyze some source and translated excerpts from the journal’s website.
