Legal Document Translation in New York
The Unified Court System's Office of Language Access provides interpreters for people in court. It does not translate the documents a party files: that is the party's job, and CPLR 2101(b) sets the standard.

Interpreters are not translators
Under CPLR 2101(b), a foreign-language affidavit or exhibit must be accompanied by an English translation and a statement from the translator setting out their qualifications and that the translation is accurate. A court interpreter who helps a witness testify has nothing to do with that requirement, and an exhibit filed without a proper translation is open to challenge.
We translate the documents counsel intends to rely on, in full, and prepare the translator's statement as an affirmation or, where preferred, a notarized affidavit.
