Consecutive Interpreting is a type of interpreting service mostly used in events with a limited number of foreign participants, in which the speaker pauses after completing a part of their speech and the interpreter interprets the completed speech into the target language. In this type of interpreting, the interpreter listens to what the speaker says, takes notes, and then interprets the same in the target language. For more information, you can visit our Consecutive Interpreting page.
The requirements that subsequently arise in this interpreting service throughout the process that involves steps such as the speaker’s speaking, the interpreter’s completing the interpreting, the other participants’ asking their questions, if any, and the further interpreting of these questions, will naturally increase the total duration needed for the event. Therefore, the duration of such a meeting should be planned by taking all these factors into consideration. Proper planning is key to a smooth process.
