A former pre-school teacher accused of ill-treating a 2-year-old girl has claimed in court that she did not understand the charge she is currently facing because of translation issues.

Although the prosecution and defence had agreed to a statement of facts that was read out on the first day of the trial, Mr Xu raised issues with the police investigation process on July 2.
