Yes. A deposition can be conducted through an interpreter so that you can understand the questions and give accurate sworn answers. Tell your lawyer early which language and dialect you need, even if you manage everyday conversations in English. Legal and medical questions can be more demanding. Ask who will arrange a properly qualified interpreter, how payment will be handled and whether the arrangements are confirmed. Do not assume a relative can serve as the interpreter; confirm the arrangements before the session.
During the deposition, wait for the interpretation to finish, answer in your own words and allow time for your answer to be interpreted. Say promptly if you cannot hear, do not understand a question or believe the interpretation is wrong. Your lawyer can address the problem on the record rather than leaving an inaccurate answer unchallenged. For a remote session, test the sound and connection beforehand. After testimony, follow the separate steps for reviewing the deposition transcript and raise any concerns with your lawyer promptly.
