3.19 Foreign Language Testimony is a type of evidence that is presented in court in a language other than the language of the court. This type of testimony is used to give evidence in a court of law when a witness or a defendant does not have a good command of the language used in the court proceedings. It is also used when a witness or defendant is more comfortable speaking in their native language. There are two types of 3.19 Foreign Language Testimony: simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation. Simultaneous interpretation is when the interpreter speaks at the same time as the witness or defendant. Consecutive interpretation is when the interpreter speaks after the witness or defendant has finished speaking. Both types of 3.19 Foreign Language Testimony are used to ensure that all parties involved in the court proceedings understand the testimony being given.
