Description

1. Is it appropriate to translate the form? what legal approval do we need for translating the form?
1. If translating the form into multiple languages, how do we present the user the need for an interpreter - as it might not be possible for it to line up with the form language they have selected.
1. For example: "we can show you the form in this language, but the court can not. Is there a secondary language that the court supports that will work for you?"

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. First resolve whether translating the form requires legal approval and how interpreter language selection should work when the court cannot support the selected form language. Done means the legal and product decisions are documented clearly enough to guide implementation.
