Abstract: Through the analysis of both the difficulties associated with their job and the circumstances in which they operate, this paper shows the relevance of the role performed by war translators and interpreters (T/I) within multilingual conflicts. Aiming to bring the working conditions of such professionals to the spotlight, this article deals with different topics, ranging from translation history to a proposal of specific training designed for war T/I or the issue of deontology and work ethics.
Resumen: A través de un análisis tanto de las circunstancias en las que operan como de las dificultades asociadas a su trabajo, en este artículo se expone la importancia de la función que desarrollan los traductores e intérpretes (T/I) de guerra en los conflictos multilingües. Con el objetivo de visibilizar la realidad laboral de dichos profesionales, se abordarán varios temas. En primer lugar, se realiza un recorrido a través de la historia de la traducción. Posteriormente, trataremos la cuestión de la deontología y ética laboral y finalizaremos con una propuesta de formación específica para los T/I de guerra.
