Abstract

The article is devoted to the problematic issues of interpreter’s participation in criminal proceedings. The work noted that the participation of an interpreter allows to ensure the implementation of the principle of the language of criminal justice. The main attention in the work is given to the definition of the translator’s qualification and the solution of the problem of finding translators from rare languages that do not have written or malo-written languages. The authors proposed to create specialized forensic and translation organizations that can fill the existing organizational and legal gap. The article investigates the criminal procedure legislation of Japan, according to which an interpreter and a translator can be involved in the case. It is suggested that, with a large volume of procedural documents subject to transfer to participants in criminal proceedings, an interpreter should be involved, who will translate these documents.
