  "text": "(1) The court must take all reasonable steps to determine whether the person who is subject to the Part 1 proceedings understands the language in which the Part 1 warrant is drawn up or into which it has been translated.\n(2) Where the court determines that the person does not understand the language in which the Part 1 warrant is drawn up or into which it has been translated, it must ensure that arrangements have been or are made to provide the person with a written translation of that document.\n(3) Despite paragraph (2), the person may be provided with an oral translation or oral summary of the Part 1 warrant, instead of a written translation, unless this would prejudice the fairness of proceedings.\n(4) A person entitled under this rule to be provided with a translation of a Part 1 warrant may waive that right.\n(5) A waiver under paragraph (4) must be—\n(a) voluntary and unequivocal; and\n(b) informed by legal advice, unless the person otherwise fully understands the consequences of waiving the right.\n(6) The court must ensure that any translation provided under this paragraph is of a quality sufficient to safeguard the fairness of proceedings.",
