SUMMARY:

The aim of this study is to investigate which strategies the sworn interpreter in Suriname uses when performing his work. In Suriname, the Code of Criminal Procedure states that a sworn interpreter must be present during the interrogation of a foreigner at a police station, criminal and civil hearing, at the notary and also during the solemnization of a marriage, but there are no guidelines or protocols to help the professional to carry out his work. This brings us to the interpreter's work as a language and culture mediator, as well as how he thinks he should fulfil his role as an interpreter. Since the presence of the interpreter is essential, it means that he is an important link during the communication process with the foreigner who is in Suriname and for this reason we thought it was important to make an analysis about the way in which the interpreters who are working with the Dutch and Portuguese languages have performed their work so far and for this it is important for us to know what skills the interpreter has. In Suriname the sworn interpreter does not work only in the legal area, but since his work shows many similarities with that of the forensic interpreter, the professional who performs work at the court hearing and in judicial spaces, we have sought support with the theory of Hale (2004) but also with other authors such as Nordin and de Almeida (2017), Lebese (2013), and Gonzalez et al. (1991). In order to carry out this study, a qualitative research was carried out among the small group of interpreters who work with the Dutch and Portuguese languages in order to find out which strategies they apply while working as well as with the parties who have to make use of the work of these professionals. From this analysis we have been able to identify that the sworn interpreter works according to his own intuition and competences. Finally, we proposed a protocol for interpreting based on Codes of Ethics used by the Professional Association of Conference Interpreters in Brazil (APIC) and the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the Australian Institute of Translators and Interpreters (AUSIT). The proposed protocol can serve as a guideline for the interpreters who have been working in this field for some time so that they can continue their work in a uniform manner, as well as for the new generation of interpreters so that they can already start their work in a uniform way.
