Resumen

The United Nations have promoted the use of non-sexist (or gender-inclusive) language since the eighties, especially through UNESCO, as a tool to fight discrimination, lack of precision and the perpetuation of stereotypes. Institutional support has materialised in guidelines and practical tools for drafting texts but their application is not general nor applied to translation. Nevertheless, the transfer of texts from one language to another alters their gender, often involuntarily, and certain choices in the original could have positive or negative effects in terms of gender in translation, even if they do not entail differences in the original. The Sketch Engine online corpus management platform is used to locate semanticgender elements in an open parallel United Nations corpus and to analyse the trend to keeping the original gender, with a view to assessing which options are more effective in terms of neutralisation of the translated text and which do not affect or promote masculinisation. The possible positive effects of the use of non-sexist drafting techniques in the source language towards the target language could be considered when drafting guidelines for translating and drafting in translation-prone languages, with special emphasis on the tools that have been tested to suppress gender traits in the target text.
