I wouldn't pretend I don't speak the language. I would simply request to have an interpreter present similar to how I would request a lawyer. I would check with my lawyer to see if I have the right to an interpreter. If I do, I would absolutely use it. I'm more concerned that the persecution, understanding how stressful the situation is for me and how not being a native speaker I wouldn't necessarily be familiar with legalese or very formal lexicon, uses it against me to extract a confession due to my confusion, than I am that the nuances would be lost through an interpreter.
