Abstract

In the world of translation research, both in translation theory and in translated texts, there is hardly any mention of the sense of touch to translate in the field of the disabled recipient. Everything is focused on audiodescription for the blind, without realizing that the visually impaired not only use the ear to capture the surrounding world and learn new disciplines, but also smell, taste and touch, which is a fundamental sense for the blind. The lack of texts in this field may be due to the fact that all efforts to make visually-impaired people learn have been focused on trying to understand each other through oral language, both for those who had a low vision and for those totally blind.
