AA (Language Diagnosis: Use of Interpreters) Somalia: IAT 25 Mar 2008

IAT It is no part of an interpreter’s function to report on the language or dialect used. The expertise needed to identify a language or dialect is not typically the expertise of an interpreter. In any event, an interpreter should not be in the position of giving, or being asked to give, evidence on a contested issue.
