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"

Both journalists, one for the nationals and one for Sky news, both were suspicious at the way he was hanging around the incident scene without any apparent connection to the investigation and when asked about why he was there, he told them he was working for the police as a translator and this became taken as read (hence your belief).
Both later went to the police with their suspicions and it was then they were told it would have been highly irregular for that to happen and confirmed he was nothing to do with them. Again, according to Sky News.
Although I don't like the way they keep making references to him having a glass eye as if that automatically makes him a wierdo. It's like when there a bald bloke about, it's always "Oh my word he's bald, he must be guilty"
