Doctors use translation service which supplies a list of translators.
There are two kind of translators:
1) One with certification which is an exam to test the knowledge of
the translator in term of medical terms in both language (English/
target language).

2) One without certification. Here you don't know for sure.
In this case, if your patient does not seem to understand what your
translator is speaking, then it is a good clue to tell the service to
fire the person.

Occasionally in the past I have volunteered my time (although you do get paid if
you work for one of translation service).
Doctors prefer to deal with translators than relative of the
patient for the reason that relative may not be objective and tell
the patient something else.
