In Aguilar, we stressed the importance of the presence of an interpreter throughout the proceedings for those who do not understand English. An interpreter is necessary so that a defendant can understand and fully participate in the proceedings when he is charged with a crime. There are three roles which an interpreter may play: (1) interpreting the questions to and answers of non-English-speaking witnesses; (2) advancing the "`non-English-speaking defendant's understanding of the colloquy between the attorneys, the witness, and the judge;'" and (3) enabling the non-English-speaking defendant to consult with his English-speaking attorney.

Deprivation of an interpreter may cause the proceedings in significant part to be incomprehensible to a defendant.

In Aguilar, we stressed the importance of the presence of an interpreter throughout the proceedings for those who do not understand English. An interpreter is necessary so that a defendant can understand and fully participate in the proceedings when he is charged with a crime. There are three roles which an interpreter may play: (1) interpreting the questions to and answers of non-English-speaking witnesses; (2) advancing the "`non-English-speaking defendant's understanding of the colloquy between the attorneys, the witness, and the judge;'" and (3) enabling the non-English-speaking defendant to consult with his English-speaking attorney.
