I’m shocked to learn all these problems arising from the lack of competent translators. It puts everyone, the troops, villagers and the translators, at great risk. When “misunderstandings” that have occurred due to translation problems and their consequences during the past wartimes often go unnoticed for a long time (such as the translator’s error between General MacArthur and the Japanese Government http://www.sup.org/book.cgi?id=1705), your report is so valuable.
