i read some interview experience for mumbai consulate and from there i guess they ask if you need interpreter and you should say at that time but i also write 3 languages in DS 230 (Gujarati, Hindi and English).

But good question.

It is not necessary to fill in DS-230, but at pre-screen ( Mumbai Consulate ) will be asked whether she wants to do interview in English or local language(Hindi/Gujrati).

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Progress Reports to India regional forum; OP's issue regarding a interpreter is country specific

No need to put it on DS-230 they would ask her preferred language of interview when she goes to submit her documents at VFS.

Mumbai Consulate has Hindi/Marathi/Guj interpreter always available.

R u sure that they ask this during docs submission at VFs..i hav never heard this that vfs guys ask us that in which language we want to give Interview...They ask for Interpreter only when u go for ur interview and that also during pre-screening counter with Indian Officer.....

No, VFS won't care which you language you prefer to speak during interview.

That's right. During pre-screening (conducted by Indian officer prior to actual interview done by American CO), applicant is asked for language preference.
