Accepted answer
Apparently John Mulligan, our Irishman from this question, was a man of many talents( and a couple of names).
From Forgotten Pioneers: Irish Leaders in Early California By Thomas F. Prendergast
Milligan acted as interpreter, as noted in the State papers
From The Irish Cultural Directory for Southern California - Page xvii
In March 1816, he acted as an interpreter when the captain of the Lydia was tried at Monterey on a charge of smuggling.
From Indians and Pioneers of Old Monterey
John Mulligan, or Milligan, the Irish weaver, may have arrived on the same occasion....an Irish resident, appears in 1 8 1 6 as interpreter for some English-speaking visitors.
