A domain that demonstrates a particularly high incidence of the interplay between language ideology and translation/interpretation is no doubt the law court. The linguistically embedded power relations that are integral to the interactional process between various parties in a law suit often become accentuated when meaning has to be mediated between two or more language varieties through the agency of a court interpreter. Contrary to the common belief that court interpreters are unobtrusive parties in the court process, they can make a significant difference in the outcome of cases partly because of the influence of the respective language ideologies they imbibe (Berk‐Seligson, 2002).
