Language Translation and Interpreting Issues- Standards of Review when Challenging Ability to Communicate with Court

A non-English-speaking defendant’s inability to communicate with the court can lead to an appeal related to foreign language translation and court interpreting issues. As the majority of jurisdictions mandate that a foreign language speaker be able to use a foreign language court interpreter in order to communicate with – and understand – the court, an appeal will be based on some issue related to the lack of or adequacy of the foreign language translation.

Author of “Translation for Lawyers” Blog Quoted in ABA Journal’s Article on Remote Foreign Language Interpreting Services

Remote foreign language interpretation services, i.e. services provided by a foreign language interpreter who is not on-site, and, therefore, not in the presence of the speaker, have been around for a long time.

Russian Interpreter’s Poor Interpretation Causes a Halted Trial: Why Attorneys Must Learn to Differentiate Between Competent Court Interpreters and Unqualified Individuals

Attorneys love to tell stories about a long-winded verbal exchange between the non-English-speaking witness and the interpreter, or the non-English-speaking defendant and the interpreter, which always ends with the interpreter solemnly declaring "Yes", while failing to inform the English-speaking lawyers of the remaining portion of his or her communication in that foreign language.
