    9-205.  INTERPRETERS. In any civil or criminal action in which any witness
or a party does not understand or speak the English language, or who has a
physical handicap which prevents him from fully hearing or speaking the
English language, then the court shall appoint a qualified interpreter to
interpret the proceedings to and the testimony of such witness or party. Upon
appointment of such interpreter, the court shall cause to have the interpreter
served with a subpoena as other witnesses, and such interpreter shall be sworn
to accurately and fully interpret the testimony given at the hearing or trial
to the best of his ability before assuming his duties as an interpreter. The
court shall determine a reasonable fee for all such interpreter services which
shall be paid out of the district court fund.
