In my opinion claims that interpreters or translators made errors aren't supportable by evidence. If they were the evidence would be presented. Inconsistencies and anomalies which don't rely on interpretation or translation can be demonstrated however. The group produced a written account of the events of 3rd May and gave it to the PJ on 10th May. They all, including Gerry, saw, read and agreed with what it said. It is in the files in the original English;
2115: JT leaves table, and sees GM talking with fellow resident ("Jez" Wilkins) outside the patio gate of 5A. The two were standing just up the hill from the gate towards Rua A. da Silva Road. She did not speak to GM as she passed.

Gerry subsequently stated that he and Jes were not near the gate, they were on the opposite side of the road.
I think there is little doubt that Gerry was suffering from False Memory syndrome.
Jane adjusted her position after having given that answer. It is not easy to suddenly and spontaniously remember an exact place along a road ... especially if it was unimportant to her at the time.
My thought is that after answering the questions, she went and visually checked it out .... and upon seeing the place it jogged memory
A further thought is that Albym translated. Did he mix the meaning of the word * door * up with the word * gate * ?
In other words did Jane actually say that "The two were standing just up the hill from the * door *, [meaning the door from the tapas reception building] .... but Albym misunderstood ?
Anyone know if the words * door * and * gate * in Portuguese can be the same word?
