Portuguese term or phrase: includente
"A atitude ética, ao contrário, é INCLUDENTE, tolerante e solidária; não apenas aceita, mas também valoriza e reforça a pluralidade e a diversidade, porque plural e diversa é a condição humana." This is a code of ethics for Brazil that I'm translating and I'm stuck on this word - it just doesnt seem to exist! Does anyone have any ideas, please?

All the answers were great - difficult to pick one out but I think this "all inclusive" is probably the most appropriate in this jargon-filled text. Thanks so much for all the help.

inclusive


Explanation:
This is pure guesswork, Sue, but I reckon 'inclusive' may be right, as in the way the [British] Conservative Party is forever going on about how it's an 'an inclusive party' and 'a broad church.' They like to say this to their [very white middle-class] followers to make them believe that they actually cater for all people regardless of their class, race, sexuality, etc. Incidentally, I can't find 'includente' in any dictionary, either. But 'inclusive' seems to make sense in the context of the rest of the sentence.

all involving


Explanation:
INCLUDENTE is another UNUSUAL term, created and used to impress. So, you can see the variety of translation suggestions.
In plain English, I would used "all involving".
One does not need to use the same prefix in both languages (includente = inclusive), "all involving" is better understood by the average reader.


    Genuine detestation for supercilious writing
    Campaign for "plain English".
