Glossary
soudní tlumočník / soudní překladatel
Pronounced sood-nyee tlu-moch-neek
In one line
A court-appointed interpreter or translator whose work Czech offices accept as official.
Where you meet it
Foreign documents must be translated by one, and a wedding needs one present if a partner does not understand Czech.
The fuller explanation
Ordinary translations are not accepted. Court-appointed translators are listed in an official register kept by the Ministry of Justice, and they attach a clause and stamp to the translation. For ceremonies, the interpreter attends in person and signs the record.
