Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Crim.) 2.12
JURY TO BE GUIDED BY OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION/INTERPRETATION CLOSING INSTRUCTIONS
[Language used] has been used during this trial.
The evidence you are to consider is only that provided through the official court [interpreters] [translators]. Although some of you may know [language used], it is important that all jurors consider the same evidence. Therefore, you must base your decision on the evidence presented in the English [interpretation] [translation]. You must disregard any different meaning.
If, during the testimony there was a question as to the accuracy of the English interpretation and steps were taken to resolve any discrepancies and despite these efforts a discrepancy remains, I emphasize that you must rely only upon the official English interpretation as provided by the court interpreter and disregard any other contrary interpretation.
