Here's an interesting link to an article called "How To Best Use An Interpreter
In Court" ByAlexander Rainof, Ph.D., from the California State Bar Journal,
May, 1980. Vol. 55, No. 5. pp. 196-200.

Besides discussing problems that can come up when interpreting between different
Spanish dialects, there are also sprinkled throughout mentions of
Hispanization/Anglization of words by California Spanish speakers.

Note: the article is horrendous blue text on a grey background. You may want to
save it as text to your desktop and open it in a word processor.
