“…The long-standing practice of multilingual communication confirms that the translation and interpreting activities play a crucial role major societal contexts and settings (Atabekova, 2020) Academia has paid consistent attention to the issues and challenges that emerge in the course of interpreter's engagement in the criminal proceedings. Scholars explore the topic within the various domains including interpreter's training and legal grounds, consider the point within the issues of justice provision (Atabekova, 2016;Biel, 2011;Elias-Bursać, Askew, 2018;Lee, 2017), and ICT use to enhance the quality of service provision (Atabekova, 2018;Orozco Jutorán, 2018;Quattrocolo, 2020). In Russia a number of offences are committed by people who do not have knowledge of the Russian language and this fact has reaffirmed the topicality of this article.…”

This article is devoted to the key problems which interpreters face when they participate in criminal proceedings. The paper also accumulates the opinion of legal experts on the topic under study. Respective problematic aspects have been identified by Russian and foreign researchers and practitioners who deal with the issue in practice, in criminal settings, and in the training fields, as well.The article deals with organizational and procedural issues related to an interpreter`s participation in criminal proceedings, interpreter`s competence identification, possible unforeseeable errors which may arise in the course of interpreting.The methodology combined theoretical and empirical studies, aggregated data from academic findings, analysis of some cases, information based on the activities of institutions which operate as linguistic and judicial expertise units, data received from specialists engaged in education policy. The paper also used the background provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation which relate to the translator and interpreter's status.The paper consistently explores the components of interpreter's competence that are mandatory for his/her efficient work in court within the broader context of the overall interpreter's work within the criminal settings. Interpreters' extralinguistic capacities and personal features are also subject to the investigation. Further the interpreter's impartiality, rights with regard to the participation in the proceedings draws the audience attention, as well. Some other extralinguistic points are in the focus of consideration, as well.The findings have made it possible to identify some challenging points that refer procedural, recruiting, and qualification issues with regard to the interpreter's engagement in the criminal proceedings in Russia.

Buscando espacios para la formación de intérpretes para la justicia en lenguas indígenas en América Latina

Este artículo hace una revisión crítica, en un marco de derechos humanos y de derechos de los pueblos indígenas, de la oferta educativa para intérpretes de lenguas indígenas en América Latina con énfasis en Perú y México. Ambos países cuentan con leyes que garantizan el uso, la preservación, la promoción y la difusión de las lenguas indígenas. La necesidad social de contar con intérpretes certificados o acreditados que faciliten el acceso a los servicios públicos para hablantes de lenguas indígenas ha forzado a los gobiernos a crear políticas públicas para su atención. Nos centramos especialmente en el ámbito de acceso a la justicia, señalando los logros y lagunas en ambos países. La escasez de espacios de formación permanentes en instituciones de educación superior para las combinaciones lingüísticas de español y lenguas nacionales indígenas obligan a definir otro tipo de formaciones donde participan actores institucionales variados, como son los gobiernos federales y estatales, asociaciones de la sociedad civil e instituciones educativas. Los datos proceden de una investigación llevada a cabo en Puebla y Oaxaca (2011-2018), recientemente extendida hacia Perú en el marco de un proyecto de cooperación triangular coordinado por la Universidad de Amberes (Bélgica) y la Universidad Veracruzana (México), en colaboración con la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas.
