“…Despite the proliferation of courses and materials designed to improve the quality of court interpreting studies (Abril-Martí & Del Pozo Triviño, 2020;Del Pozo Triviño, 2022;Hunt-Gómez & Gómez-Moreno, 2015;IVY, 2011;Michelson, 1999;Townsley, 2011, among others), Spanish court interpreting students need more practical training in conveying insults and offensive utterances, applying the ethical and professional guidelines they receive as part of their training (Hunt-Gómez, 2017). This lack of practical training leads to a lacuna precisely where the correct rendition of insults, offensive language, and taboo words is crucial to the trial.…”

The court interpreter’s performance is integral to ensuring a fair trial. When dealing with insults, offensive language, and taboo words it is especially important to interpret renditions accurately and completely, as uttered insults or other expressions of verbal violence may be considered an aggravating factorof an offence, or they may in themselvesconstitute the offence of defamation [injuria] or defamatory allegation of a criminal offence [calumnia] under the Spanish Criminal Code. An experimental study was carried out in order to test the hypothesis that students with a good language and interpreting skills are unable to interpret this type of rendition in a court setting. A corpus was created compiling the renditions of 46 higher education students while they did the interpreting exercises from a collection of specific teaching materials based on the use of audiovisual recordings of real criminal trials (Hunt-Gómez, 2013). There were 123 renditions per student, with a total number of 5,658 renditions, of which only those containing insults, offensive language, or taboo words were analysed, transcribed, and categorised according to the student’s ability to convey meaning and to express the intensity of the original message. Results showed that dealing with impolite or taboo language was an added difficulty for students, despite their command of both their working languages and interpreting techniques. Consequently, interpreting training should include specific exercises in order to trigger students to produce a pragmatic equivalent when dealing with these types of renditions so that future interpreters are equipped with the appropriate strategies when faced with real-life situations.

“…In line with this perspective, the first stages of the SOS-VICS project were devoted to analysing the communication needs of all stakeholders involved in GV −victims, public service agents/providers, and interpreters− in the Spanish context. Both quantitative and qualitative data were obtained by means of a questionnaire survey of 586 public service providers, a Delphi survey of 27 interpreters with some experience in GV contexts, and interviews with 12 foreign victims and survivors of GV and with 12 experts in GV assistance (Del-Pozo-Triviño et al 2014a, 2014b). 6 .…”

“…The main feature of this handbook is that it mirrors the website so that for each of the sections described above there is a corresponding chapter. The book provides a detailed narrative account of the specificities of interpreting in GV contexts, supported by academic literature and the results of the SOS-VICS fieldwork (Del-Pozo-Triviño et al 2014a& 2014b. It is worth noting that some chapters of the book have been translated into English and adapted to a wider international audience, 17 following the suggestion from some colleagues interested in using it for their training initiatives outside Spain.…”

El presente volumen aborda la traducción e interpretación institucional con un triple enfoque: a) su aplicación social; b) las tendencias profesionales; y, c) la innovación didáctica en la enseñanza universitaria. Respecto a su aplicación social, los primeros capítulos tratan la traducción e interpretación como una herramienta esencial que permite superar barreras tanto lingüísticas como culturales en situaciones de emergencia y acceder a derechos fundamentales mediante el empoderamiento de las mujeres en procedimientos de asistencia y atención en contextos de violencia de género. El posterior análisis y descripción de diversos entornos profesionales en contextos institucionales permiten detectar y extraer las competencias que los profesionales necesitan para poder hacer frente a los nuevos desafíos a los que se enfrentan en el nuevo paisaje profesional dibujado por los acontecimientos históricos de los últimos tiempos. En cuanto a la innovación didáctica, el volumen presenta nuevas metodologías docentes y acciones formativas que incluyen, entre otras, el empleo de la música y el mindfulness en el aula de interpretación, el uso de las nuevas tecnologías para la formación de intérpretes a distancia y la posedición como herramienta didáctica en el aula de traducción.

“…As a number of studies show, health services are crucial to addressing this type of violence [11], and nursing professionals play a critical role in helping female victims of gender-based violence [13]. However, the literature shows that it is difficult for professionals to identify situations of abuse when there are no physical injuries [18] and that they need more training in taking a correct approach to situations of gender violence [19,20].…”

Women victims of gender violence consider the health system an appropriate place to seek help. Aims and Objectives: to describe and understand how nurses perceive gender-based violence in health care for women victims of gender-based violence. Qualitative descriptive study. The recommendations of the COREQ guide for qualitative research reporting were followed. Sixteen nurses who were working in different health services, both primary and specialized care, were selected to take part in the study. Three focus groups and a semi-structured interview were conducted. The ATLAS.ti 9 computer programme was used. The nurses highlighted that when caring for women who are victims of gender violence, they encounter two types of violence: invisible or latent, and visible or patent. Part of the nurses’ role is based on the skill of knowing how to act and being trained to do so. In addition, there are certain controversies around the concept and origin of violence. On the one hand, they refer to gender violence as a universal phenomenon with strong cultural and educational roots, and, on the other hand, it is difficult to characterize. The findings report how nurses play a fundamental role in caring for victims of gender-based violence, but they encounter certain difficulties regarding this concept. It is therefore essential to continuously train and educate nurses on gender-based violence. Gender violence should be a competency in nursing curricula. Health systems must offer training and awareness programmes that teach nurses to detect and make decisions regarding female victims of gender violence. It is also necessary to set up spaces in the different services so that the nurses can attend to the victims.
