What is your problem, Katadama? Just because you guys are saying your friend has been wonderful in the past, doesn't mean we should be giving her special treatment. We also aren't treating her unfairly, or talking down on her.
As you say, language barriers can prevent some communication, but if I went to a country, where the language was unknown to me, as you're so politely putting it, some common sense would tell me what things could be illegal there. Ie, I should know that stealing would not be allowed.
She's also not being put down for her language, but also, a language barrier is NOT going to prevent her from being punished if she actually did do what appears to have potentially been done. I can't tell until she starts responding to her ticket.
