United States Supreme Court
Taniguchi v. Kan Pacific Saipan, Ltd., 10-1472
In a case in which the respondent was the prevailing party in a civil action instituted by the petitioner, an award of the cost of translating documents is vacated, as the Court Interpreters Act, 28 U.S.C. section 1920, which includes "compensation of interpreters" among the costs that may be awarded to prevailing parties in federal-court lawsuits, does not include the cost of document translation.
