The compensation for an interpreter in the municipal court shall not exceed $25.00 for each day and $15.00 for each half day actually employed. The certificate of the clerk of the court of record stating the amount ordered to be paid by the court, shall authorize the payment of compensation for the interpreter in the same manner as a witness fee is paid to a witness.
