The interpreter shall sign the translation.

During the conduct of an inquiry, preliminary examination, or trial, if there arises a reasonable belief that an alleged offender or accused is insane and unfit to defend himself, the inquiry official or court, as the case may be, shall order a medical official to inspect him. Upon finish thereof, the medical official shall be summoned to state or testify how the inspection comes out.

In the event that the inquiry official or court finds that the alleged offender or accused is insane and unfit to defend himself, the inquiry, preliminary examination, or trial shall be stayed until he recovers from insanity or is fit to defend himself. In addition, [the inquiry official or court] shall have the power to commit him to a psychiatric hospital or entrust him to a custodian, provincial commissioner, or another person who is willing to take care of him as is found appropriate.

In the event that the court stays the preliminary examination or trial as prescribed in the previous paragraph, the court may order temporary disposal of the case.
