Ohio Sup.R. 9.28
Accommodating Modes of Interpretation
(A) General
Subject to division (B) of this standard, a court using video remote interpretation should
accommodate sight translation, consecutive interpretation, or simultaneous interpretation
as is necessary for proper and effective communication among the court, the parties, their
representatives, and other applicable individuals.
(B) Sight translation
A court should not use sight translation with video remote interpretation unless the
interpreter has access to the documents beforehand and ample time to render the document
from one language into the other. If sight translation is used with video remote
interpretation, the document should be short and routine.
