"Rule 3.850(n)(2) also requires that the defendant certify that he or she speaks English or, if not, had the moton translated. Trial courts will reject motions that lack this requirement. The rule reads: 

(2) The defendant shall either certify that the defendant can understand English or, if the defendant cannot understand English, that the defendant has had the motion translated completely into a language that the defendant understands. The motion shall contain the name and address of the person who translated the motion and that person shall certify that he or she provided an accurate and complete translation to the defendant. Failure to include this information and certification in a motion shall be grounds for the entry of an order dismissing the motion pursuant to subdivision (f)(1), (f)(2), or (f)(3)."]]></description>
