I have the same question.I think you do not have to be a translator for that purpose.I assume they are just covering the legal matter in case someone says they did not understand.

of course, as the petitioner she should fill out the forms. she doesn't need a translator.

has she filled out the rest of the forms? there is more than the 2 forms mentioned.

I'm assuming she entered legally with a tourist visa or some sort of visa, right?

The interpreter doesn't need any formal qualifications. They just need to be fluent in English and the applicant's native language. My wife's aunt explained all the questions, especially in part 3, to my wife and step-kids. My wife's aunt signed the interpreter's statement on their I-485's.
