Translation of a witness interrogation record in a criminal case is required to accurately convey testimony, procedural wording and legally relevant details when case materials are reviewed by investigative authorities and courts in foreign jurisdictions
Translation of a witness interrogation record in a criminal case requires not only knowledge of legal terminology but also strict adherence to procedural style. Such a document records the testimony of an individual, the warning of liability, the investigator’s questions and the witness’s answers in the legally prescribed form. During translation it is essential to preserve the sequence of statements, neutrality of wording and the exact meaning of what was said, as the record may be used in court as evidence. Errors or free interpretations are unacceptable, as they may affect the assessment of testimony. This translation is required in cases of international legal assistance, extradition procedures, criminal matters involving foreign elements and protection of participants’ interests abroad. Professional translation guarantees legal accuracy and compliance with criminal procedure standards
