Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάστηκε η πρώτη μάρτυρας υπεράσπισης, έγινε δε αντιληπτό από το Δικαστήριο ότι αυτή αγνοεί την ελληνική γλώσσα και ότι ομιλει την σέρβικη.

Translated by kafetzou
Target language: English

In the next part, the first witness for the defense appeared, at which point the court became aware of the fact that she did not know the Greek language and that she spoke Serbian.
Remarks about the translation
Sorry - I don't think this translation is right, because I really don't understand the phrase "έγινε δε αντιληπτό από το Δικαστήριο". I hope someone will help me with this.

I really need to go to sleep since I cannot find a better/shorter way to phrase the change I made.
Sorry all. I got the meaning right although the "δε", in this case, is a sort of "formal filler". Maybe something like "whereat"? Anyway, a verbatim translation would be "it became comprehensible by the court". In other words, the way I read it, no one notified the court that the witness did not speak Greek and they understood it because, well, she didn't speak Greek

Το ''δε'' στο συγκεκριμένο νομικό κείμενο -όπως και τις περισσότερες φορές- έχει την έννοια του επιπλέον/επίσης. Δηλαδή σαν μετάφραση θα ήταν καλύτερα το: ''the court ALSO became aware of''...

EDIT

Όσο το κοιτάω ακριβή μετάφραση δεν θα αντιστοιχούσε στα αγγλικά. Είναι από τους συνδέσμους που αλλάζουν ιδιότητα και άρα έννοια(π.χ κιόλας,σαν αποτέλεσμα, από την άλλη μεριά...κτλ). Όπως και να έχει το νόημα είναι της μετάφρασης είναι σωστό οπότε no prob!

Είναι συμπλεκτικός σύνδεσμος, όπως το και, και προσδίδει έμφαση. Χρησιμοποιείται στα πρακτικά δικαστηρίων.

Ladies, the question at this point is only whether the translation is correct. Since Tantine is the one evaluating it, and she can't read Greek, could you tell her your opinions in English please?

Hi Kafetzou

In the absence of any reply from your "detractors", I am ignoring their objections and will now validate your text
