คำแปลภาษาไทย

An inquiry, preliminary examination or trial shall be conducted in the Thai language. But where it is necessary to translate a local Thai dialect, a regional language or a foreign language into Thai, or to translate Thai into a local Thai dialect, a regional language or a foreign language, an interpreter shall be used. Where the injured person, alleged offender, defendant or a witness cannot speak or understand Thai, or can speak or understand only a local Thai dialect or a regional language, and there is no interpreter, the inquiry official, public prosecutor or Court shall provide an interpreter without delay. Where the injured person, alleged offender, defendant or a witness cannot speak, hear, or communicate, and there is no sign-language interpreter, the inquiry official, public prosecutor or Court shall provide a sign-language interpreter, or arrange for questions, answers or communication to be made by another appropriate method. When an interpreter interprets statements, testimony or other matters, the interpreter must interpret correctly. The interpreter must take an oath or affirmation that he will perform his duty in good faith and will not add to or omit from what is interpreted, and the interpreter shall sign the interpretation. The inquiry official, public prosecutor or Court shall order payment of an allowance, travel expenses and accommodation expenses to the interpreter provided under this Section, in accordance with the regulations prescribed by the Royal Thai Police, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Justice, the Office of the Attorney-General or the Office of the Judiciary, as the case may be, with the approval of the Ministry of Finance.
