Resumen

El presente artículo pretende describir el estado de la cuestión de los registros nacionales de intérpretes y traductores judiciales en los Estados Unidos y en la Unión Europea. Después de examinar brevemente las recomendaciones de investigadores y participantes en proyectos especializados a nivel europeo, se defenderá la importancia de utilizar los registros nacionales para dos fines importantes: profesionalizar la traducción y la interpretación judicial, así como fomentar la confianza pública. A continuación se planteará una propuesta, basada en modelos actuales y recomendaciones de investigadores que contempla las características mínimas de un registro nacional. Debido a la necesidad cada vez más presente de implementar medidas que sean justas, transparentes, sostenibles y que protejan los derechos procesales de los ciudadanos, el registro debe ser elaborado cuidadosamente y con el esmero apropiado. Así también se puede garantizar que los usuarios de dichos registros dispongan de información objetiva sobre la competencia de los intérpretes a quienes contratan.
