What is consecutive interpreting?
Normally intended for court hearings tribunals, interviews and conference calls, consecutive interpreters begin translating after the original speaker has finished, usually a couple of sentences at a time.
By carefully taking in the information, the interpreter has the time to analyse the message as a whole, usually a few sentences at a time, making it easier for them to deliver a more fluent, idiomatic output.
In most cases, the consecutive interpreter will also be taking notes in the target language while the main speaker is talking, ensuring that no details are inadvertently left out.
