The Need for a Spanish Miranda Rights Translation
Today, roughly 45 million of the U.S. population speaks Spanish as their first or second language. Providing these individuals with vital information in their native language is a problem many government institutions face, including the juridical system. English to Spanish legal translation services are of course provided by the court, but until recently, there was still one vital moment where no proper standardized translation was available – the reading of Spanish Miranda Rights. The official standardized Miranda Spanish translation is now a requirement for police officers serving the Spanish speaking community.
