Judge Peter Olszewski Jr. gave three criminal defendants a choice: learn English or spend 24 months in the Luzerne County, Pa., jail. Olszewski issued the unusual sentence after four men pleaded guilty to robbery-related charges through a translator. “Do you think we are going to supply you with a translator all of your life?” he asked during the plea hearing, according to The Times Leader in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. One of the defendants was already imprisoned on drug-related charges; the other three were given immediate parole. Those men, all resident aliens, are due back in court next year. At that time, Olszewski says he'll administer an English test. If they pass the test and prove they've earned GEDs and found full-time jobs, the judge says he'll let them go about their lives. If they don’t pass, they’re going in for the 24 (months),” Olszewski says, according to the paper.

Yeah, I know the feeling. Although I think it is harder to talk to TDD operators. I always forget to say "go ahead" because it is not part of a normal verbal conversation.

I was a kind of translator for my sister while we were in Mexico. I somehow remembered more Spanish than I thought I would, and I was able to translate for her, where she only knew "hello" and "no thank you". Now she wants to learn it so when she goes back, she doesn't rely on someone else or a book/electronic device.

It should be law. But don't look for anything like that to happen if juan mcamnesty gets elected President.
