您在法庭上享有口译服务的权利
在印第安纳州,如果您不得不上法庭,而英语说得不太好,您可以要求法庭提供口译员。法庭口译员是经过特殊训练的人,他们的英语和另一语言都说得非常好。他们还能理解法庭上使用的法律语言,并能帮助您与法官和法庭工作人员交流。
法庭口译员的工作是将您所说的一切翻译成英语,并且把用英语说的一切翻译成您所说的语言。
这有助于您理解人们在说什么——也有助于您用您的语言说出您想要表达的内容。
法庭口译员并不能给您提供法律建议。他们也不能回答您的问题或解释法庭上发生的事情。但是他们能够翻译您的问题以及给出的回答,这样您就可以得到您需要的回答。
当与法庭口译员一起工作时,还有其他一些事情需要记住:首先,即使您懂一些英语,也要用您的语言慢慢说。
其次,当别人和您说话时,您只听口译员的。当您和别人说话时,直接和那个人说话,不要对口译员说话。
最后,一定要说得清楚而响亮,这样口译员和其他人才能听到您。如果您听不到口译员, 您一定要尽快说出来。
法庭口译员会帮助您与法庭沟通。如果您的法庭案件需要一名法庭口译员,请打电话给您当地的县法院了解更多信息。如果您想更多了解关于法庭口译员的信息,请查询我们的网站。
Your Right to an Interpreter in Court
In Indiana, if you ever have to go to court and do not speak English very well, you can ask for a court interpreter. Court interpreters are specially trained people who speak English and another language extremely well. They also understand the legal language used in courts and can help you communicate with judges and court staff.
A court interpreter’s job is to interpret everything you say into English and everything that is said in English into your language, exactly as it is said. This helps you understand what people are saying—and helps you say what you want in your language.
Court interpreters cannot give you legal advice. They also cannot answer your questions or explain what is happening in court. But they can interpret your questions and the answers given so you can get the answers you need.
There are a few other things to remember when working with a court interpreter: First, speak slowly and only in your language—even if you know some English.
Secondly, when someone else is speaking to you, listen only to the interpreter. And when you are speaking to someone else, speak directly to that person, and not to the interpreter.
Finally, be sure to speak clearly and loudly so that the interpreter and others can hear you. And if you cannot hear the interpreter, be sure to say something as soon as possible.
A court interpreter helps you communicate with the court. If you need a court interpreter for your court case, please call your local county court for more information. If you want to learn more about what a court interpreter can do, please visit the language access website.
