im a truck driver with over 15 yrs. experience , just last week i had an accident, no injuries . i have a witness to that accident but doesn't speak enough english for conversation.The trooper at the accident made some racial comments towards my witness and refused to take his statement because of his lack of english i persisted, so the officer took a written statement from witness in the witness' language.could my witness be used as a credible witness in court if need be?

Yes, a witness is a witness, even if its an illegal, and this stems from the illegal alien trying to smuggle over 700 lbs, of marijuana and then got chased back over the river and got shot in the @ss by two Border Patrol officers, now the officers are paying with their freedom and the illegal got papers to come here and testify against the officers, so now the illegal can go shopping here. Oh yea, and try and bring more drugs over.........

Of course they can be a witness. The court will get a translator for the case.

significant witness? once you're a independent witness (e.g., you observed a motor vehicle accident), you will merely get lots of questions. once you're an fascinated occasion, you would be able to or will possibly not get some hostility from the section you're attesting against. Whichever that's, merely answer the questions and give up speaking once you have finished announcing what you rather be responsive to.

You bet. The court will use a translator with the witness.

Yes. The court will provide a certified translator so that your witness can testify.

Yes. You can get a translator to come in and translate everything for the court.

Yes; the court can appoint an interpreter, which shouldn't be a problem

Talk to a solicitor I'm sure you can use an interpreter Deaf people use them as well when they need to communicate in court

Yes, if necessary, the courts can find an interpreter.
