In cases wherein the will, copy or draft, is written in any language other than English or than that in ordinary use in proceedings before the Court, there shall be a translation thereof annexed to the petition by a translator of the Court, if the language be one for which a translator is appointed;
or, if the will, copy or draft, is in any other language, then by any person competent to translate the same, in which case such translation shall be verified by that person in the following manner, namely:-
"I (A.B.) do declare that I read and perfectly understand the language and character of the original, and that the above is a true and accurate translation thereof."
Legal Commentary & Landmark Judgments: Section 277
Section 277 requires the annexation of an authenticated Translation to the petition where the original will is in a language other than the court language.
When probating a will written in Urdu, Bengali, Tamil, or Gurmukhi before an English-language High Court or District Court, ensure the translation is certified by an empanelled court translator under Section 277; private unverified translations will be rejected at the filing counter.
