Let's see. We have, for example, high German and low German. High German is what is spoken by educated people and in professional situations, low German is a dialect and is not used in academic and formal situations (more commonly found in smaller towns and villages). A written example in English is where people write definite as "definate" or definitely as "definately". High German would look at the root word "finite" and expand on the concept or make compound words (Germans are notorious for their compound words). A spoken example in English is when people get their past/present/future tenses all screwed up like "I have came". That would be an example of how high German and low German is different. It's comparible to proper English and slang English. Should we assume that the interpreter was uneducated and using slang when speaking with Knox? Would that explain why the statements given by Knox at 1:45, 5:45 and a few hours later were all 100% written in English and consistent with each other? Would it have been better if it had been written in slang with the F-bomb interspersed in the same way that Knox spoke while describing Meredith immediately after her body was discovered?
I have no idea why we are discussing dialects, but I do want to point out that in English, at least, dialects may stem from geography instead of social class. An idiom isn't necessarily an error.
As for the cop who spoke English with Knox, I have never heard that dialect was an issue between them. But as I said above, we also have no information as to how well the cop spoke English. (I don't mention this to claim that AK didn't make the statement accusing PL; rather, the issue is how much stress AK encountered in understanding what was said to her and in making herself understood. We don't know, except that we know it was enough to make her change her story in 2 hours.)
