9th Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Civil) 2.7
Transcript of Recording in Foreign Language
You [are about to [hear] [watch]] [have [heard] [watched]] a recording in [specify foreign language] language. Each of you [has been] [was] given a transcript of the recording that has been admitted into evidence. The transcript is an English-language translation of the recording.
Although some of you may know the [specify foreign language] language, it is important that all jurors consider the same evidence. The transcript is the evidence, not the foreign language spoken in the recording. Therefore, you must accept the interpreter’s translation contained in the transcript and disregard any different meaning of the non-English words.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
