Syllabus

In bench trial on charges of violating protection order, court committed no error in failing to appoint translator, and counsel was not ineffective for failing to request one, where appellant demonstrated ability to readily understand and communicate in English and meaningfully participated at trial. Evidence was sufficient to support conviction, and conviction was not against manifest weight of evidence where conviction resulted not from language barrier, but because court did not believe appellant.
