Most renditions here come from a published state court interpreter glossary (Washington, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Alabama, New Jersey, California) or the DEA drug-slang list, and every rendition shows which sources agree. Terms marked CF were written by CourtFluent to fill gaps the state glossaries leave (medical, traffic, weapons, street slang) and checked by machine review, not taken from an official source. Treat those as a study aid and prefer a state-sourced rendition when one exists. Start with the scenario lists, then work through a category.
