interpreted testimony

A quick definition of interpreted testimony:

Interpreted testimony is when someone gives evidence in a language that the court doesn't understand, so it needs to be translated. Testimony is when someone gives evidence in court or in writing, like in a statement. There are different types of testimony, like when someone gives their opinion or describes what they saw or heard. Sometimes, multiple witnesses give the same testimony to make it seem more convincing, but the court usually limits this. False testimony is when someone lies in court, but interpreted testimony is just when it needs to be translated.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Interpreted testimony is evidence given by a witness who cannot communicate in the language of the court or tribunal. It is translated so that the court can understand it.

Example: If a witness speaks Spanish but the court only understands English, an interpreter will be present to translate the witness's testimony into English. This allows the court to understand the witness's evidence and make a fair decision.

This example illustrates how interpreted testimony is used to ensure that all witnesses can give evidence, regardless of their language abilities. It is important for the court to understand all evidence presented to make a fair decision.
