I'm not positive- but I don't think it's a problem. I believe that the documents have to either be in Spanish or English. If they were in German and your fiance was applying in Chile, then you would need everything translated. But as far as I know, that shouldn't be an issue. But I'm not an expert....

This is a bit late but it may help others.

No, if the documents are in English or in the language of the country where you're having the interview, translations are not needed. If they're in any other language, then yes, you will need translations for them.

This varies with the Consulate and is certainly not true in China or any other country that doesn't use the Roman alphabet. Only a Chile specific answer is useful on this question and I trust the OP will be back with that answer later today, since the interview is today.

Personal experience: once it's in the hands of the Embassy in Chile you are home free. Translations not needed, they will call you on the phone before you go with questions if they are not ready, they know exactly what is needed, the entire thing takes less than an hour. Viva! They are really nice in Chile.
