spoken in another.
2. In pleading, when a libel or an agreement, written in a foreign
language, must be averred, it is necessary that a translation of it should
also be given.
3. In evidence, when a witness is unable to speak the English language
so as to convey his ideas, a translation of his testimony must be made. In
that case, an interpreter should be sworn to translate to him, on oath, the
questions propounded to him, and to translate to the court and jury his
answers. 4 Mass. 81; 5 Mass. 219; 2 Caines' Rep. 155; Louis. Code of Pr.

6. Swinburne applies the term translation to the bestowing of a legacy
which had been given to one, on another; this is a species of ademption,
(q.v.) but it differs from it in this, that there may be an ademption
without a translation, but there can be no translation without an ademption.
Bac. Ab. Legacies, C.
7. By translation is also meant the transfer of property, but in this
sense it is seldom used. 2 Bl. Com. 294. Vide Interpreter.
