Under what situation where these two people asking about the translation role of him?
Were they joe public who just asked PC Plod, or are they involved in the investigation themselves and asked a spokesperson for the police? Remember, in Portugal the police aren't allowed to release information relating to the case like they do in the UK, leaving a void for the media to fight over (hence the reports of incompetence regarding the police).
It could be that these two asked PC Plod "Has he ever translated for you?" and PC Plod said "No" meaning "No, he's never been
my translator, I have John to translate for me"
Prime example of the media trying to get people to jump to conclusions so that they'll get more ratings. If it turns out to be a non-event and the guy is actually a translator and totally innocent, the media will move onto someone else, not giving a damn about any damage they've caused by leading people to conclusions without proper investigation.
