Spanish term or phrase: a nivel nacional
El título lo traduje "NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL RECORD" (Certificado de antedecentes judiciales a nivel nacional)

Pero cuando abajo dice "no registra antecedentes judiciales a nivel nacional", no estoy segura de cómo ponerlo. No encuentro referencias para "has not nationwide criminal records".

¿Alguna otra idea de cómo ponerlo?

¡Gracias!

Ana Brassara: 2:23am Mar 13, 2006: Se me acaba de ocurrir: "has not criminal record on national files". ¿Les parece bien?

Giovanni Rengifo: 4:15am Mar 13, 2006: recuerda que en inglés debe ser "does not have" o "has no" records. "has not records" no es correcto ;-) -
Timothy Barton: 8:51am Mar 13, 2006: "Nationwide criminal record" sounds strange here. Just say "national", or "Spanish/Argentinian/Chilean/etc..(whatever country its referring to). Most style guides label the word a cliché anyway, so if you're not a native ENG, you're probably best.... -
Timothy Barton: 8:51am Mar 13, 2006: ...avoiding this term, as it's not easy knowing when to use it. -

has no criminal record in [country]

Explanation:
Spanish often uses "nacional" when in English we'd state the name of the country. "Domestic" is another translation of "nacional", as pointed out above, but I don't think we'd talk about a "domestic criminal record".
