Summary/Abstract: This article aims to provide the analysis of the process of translating a political discourse by relying on speech acts. The meaning of an utterance varies depending on the context. Thus, starting from a pragmatic approach and taking into consideration the theory of speech acts, we will try to demonstrate the importance of preserving illocutionary force in order to adequately translate political discourse. The political speech chosen to illustrate the examples is Emmanuel Macron's speech at the Palace of Versailles on July 3, 2017. This pragmatic approach is based mainly on the speech act theory introduced by John Austin and developed byJohn R. Searle.
