Interpretation services are offered in two methods – simultaneous and consecutive.
• In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter interprets the message spoken by a foreign language speaker parallelly, as they speak.
• Consecutive interpretation occurs when the source language speaker is allowed to complete a part of their speech first before the interpreter interprets this speech into the target language. Consecutive interpretation allows for a pause.
How Does Consecutive Interpretation Work?
Consecutive interpretation works in the following manner –
• Consecutive interpretation requires practitioners to skill themselves in note-taking as it isn’t possible for them to memorize and retain long paragraphs in their minds. Consecutive interpreters generally note down the message of the source language speaker and then translate the same into the target language for the audience.
• A consecutive interpreter either summarizes the content of the speaker’s message or relays the gist.
Benefits of Consecutive Interpretation
• Affordable and convenient – Consecutive interpretation is an affordable and convenient interpretation solution as it requires far less gear and equipment than is required to facilitate simultaneous interpretation.
• More nuanced interpretation – It makes possible more time for the interpreter to really interpret the nuances of language and expression used by the speaker into the target language.
