Helping you avoid interpreter issues in court

A NAATI-certified legal interpreter provides a vital link between Chinese clients and the legal system. They help ensure everyone understands each other in legal meetings, mediations, and court hearings. Our interpreters have received the right training, have experience, and are certified by NAATI to help them understand and correctly translate legal terms in both English and Chinese.

Chinese Clients Need NAATI-Certified Legal Interpreters
Recently, our team assisted a Royal Commission. A law firm had hired a freelance interpreter, who turned out to be overseas and struggled to understand the specialised legal language used and the Australian circumstances. This led to frequent interruptions, not to mention mounting costs. The Commissioner instructed the law firm to secure the services of a competent certified Chinese court interpreter to ensure the case could proceed without further delays.

As with all cases, we’d rather be involved from the start, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be happy to help mid-way or when you need us.

This is why we advise all legal professionals to be careful when choosing a Mandarin court interpreter and legal translators because the quality of the language team can have a big effect on the outcome of the case.

Good interpreters usually have a diary of activities, so if you want a top interpreter book in early. Of course, we often get last minute urgent requests and we will do our best to help – always.

First of all choose someone qualified with legal experience. You can seek recommendations. If during the interpreting, you notice things are not going to plan, for example: long answers translated in a few words; short answers elongated; funny looks or exchanges, it might indicate a problem with the interpreting. Maybe seek a break and check with the interpreter what is going on. For best results, good preparation before the case such as supplying background, affidavits and evidence in advance and an interpreter who takes notes will help deliver a professional result.

First of all preparation. Interpreters need to spend some advance time familiarising with the case and evidence – so always supply them with the required information. Secondly, speakers need to speak and then pause to let the interpreter cut in and out. Interpreters should be able to use a note pad to take shorthand and then read it back (in the other language). Thirdly make sure the interpreter can hear clearly and is allowed breaks.
