TLDR : Answer Summary
The need for a translator during the local marriage registration at the amphoe in Thailand depends on individual circumstances. Generally, a translator is not required if you can present your documentation adequately. However, if there are specific documents that must be translated (such as a 'free to marry' certificate for a widower), then translation services may be necessary. Familiarity with local participants, such as a Thai witness, can also facilitate the process.

Depending on the circumstances. In my case my wife was Thai so I didn't need an interpreter for the license, but I was also a widower which required that I get a notorized 'free to marry' certificate, which did require the documents to prove I was single (late wife's death certificate) to be translated to Thai.
