I'm going to stop you there. Let's imagine I'm the judge and you are a francophone trial lawyer. I have to communicate and ask you questions. I'm able to understand you, but I can't express myself with a high enough degree of proficiency in French. In that context, you obviously have no choice but to wear an earpiece to understand what I am saying, especially when I am asking questions.
Can the interpreter's translation of the judge's questions to the lawyer or witness deviate from what was said or lack clarity?
