and it doesn't bother anybody. Stop imaging that an interpreter must memorize long, long paragraphs. I have been working as a federal court and medical interpreter for more than 15 years, and never heard a single complaint; quite the opposite - many, many times judges, attorneys, doctors, nurses ... came afterwards to thank me for the job.
