Conversations in different languages

Is a script with multiple language possible? How would you tackle a scene where the translator is lying to both his clients while all three of them are in the same room?

Richard F. Russell

If the translator is going to lie, and you want the audience to know it's a lie, then you might consider subtitles. I'm assuming you want the audience in a superior position. The audience knows of the lie, the characters, except for the translator, do not.
