§ 1297.224.Documentary Evidence Accompanied By Translation

Choosing a language for the proceedings under the earlier sections in this article does not automatically mean every document already exists in that language. This section closes that gap for documentary evidence specifically. The tribunal may order that any documentary evidence come with a translation into the language, or languages, the parties agreed upon or the tribunal determined.

That authority is discretionary rather than automatic -- the tribunal decides when a translation is needed, which lets it avoid demanding translations of every document wholesale when only some matter to the dispute, while still ensuring the arbitrators and the other party can read the evidence that does matter.
