What I read in a news story (accuracy is unknown to me) is that he was pushed into doing this and never claimed to be a translator for the deaf, just has a deaf brother. \nThis has happened in the past and it was stated gov. translators would be screened and certified (or whatever) in the future. \nIf they were in a bind, they should have written up cards with the info on it for the deaf to read. Misinformation is usually worse than no information.
