Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-344: Interpreter - Appointment - Compensation

That upon the request of either the district attorney, or the

grand jurors, the district judge who has called a grand jury shall

appoint, whenever necessary, an interpreter, and shall swear him to

secrecy, not to disclose any testimony or the name of any witness

which shall be presented to the grand jury except when testifying in

a court of record.

The compensation for any interpreter thus appointed shall be

fixed and allowed by the judge appointing him, and such fees, when

earned, may be allowed and paid from time to time as they accrue,

and shall be paid from the funds from which the grand jurors are

paid.
