Consecutive interpretin from/to 120 Languages

Consecutive interpretation is one of the types of interpretation in which the interpreter begins to translate information after the speaker has stopped speaking, having completed all or part of the speech. The speaker pauses from time to time to translate what has been said. These pauses are usually not very long. In general, the interpreter usually formulates the translation and repeats it during the pause. During a consecutive interpretation, the interpreter has to memorize the content of the speech given by the speaker before the start of the interpretation, which is certainly very difficult.

Consecutive interpretation: what should you know?

Consecutive interpretation is generally suited for events with few participants. Consecutive interpretations are usually required for:

Direct negotiations.
Virtual negotiations.
Negotiations by phone.
Seminars, meetings, conferences at the table with a small number of participants.
Press conferences.
Buffets, festive events.
Presentations, exhibitions.
Coordination and installation of equipment with the participation of a foreign specialist.
Excursions for guests from abroad, delegation escorts.
Court hearings, interrogations/hearings of foreigners, any notarial acts involving foreigners.

It is important to highlight the benefits of consecutive interpretation:

No need to rent special equipment, which increases the mobility of the event.
This type of interpretation can be used in the course of certain activities, such as work in industry, negotiations, presentations, etc.
Participants have more free time and can use this time to focus on other issues (for example, during negotiations).
It costs less to hire one qualified consecutive interpretation specialist, as at least two simultaneous translation specialists are needed for simultaneous interpretation.

Disadvantages of consecutive interpretation

Repeated pauses extend the duration of the event.
In the case of consecutive interpretation, the speaker’s language is translated into only one foreign language.
This type of interpretation is for events with a minimum number of people.
During the consecutive interpretation, the interpreter’s speech speed slows down as he/she has to recall all the information given by the speaker during the speech.
