In this instance the term "appear" is not referring to the accused corporal presence...

Wouldn't you say that depends upon the sense the word is used in?

The first question that is always asked is "Do you understand the charges?" As you don't wish to appear to be a dummy the answer is always going to be "Yes." Yet you do not realize that "understand" is legalize for "agree to".

By this little charade is consent granted.

By rights you should begin by asking for an interpreter because English is not spoken.
