| Consecutive Interpreting |
|
Consecutive Interpreting is the most popular type of interpreting as it does not require any specialist equipment or complex planning. It is also considerably cheaper than Simultaneous Interpreting.
When using the services of a consecutive interpreter the speaker regularly pauses, enabling the interpreter to render his translation. Usually the speaker pauses after every sentence or phrase. Although this is a time consuming procedure, it can lead to a higher degree of correctness and completeness in the translation, since a consecutive interpreter gets more time to do his work than a simultaneous interpreter. A consecutive interpreter will also not easily see a need to 'compress' the translation, something that does often happen in simultaneous interpreting. The need for a consecutive interpreter will seldom occur, since in most situations where you would need a consecutive interpreter, you might use a simultaneous interpreter instead. But there can be circumstances that will cause you to have an absolute preference for a consecutive interpreter. For instance, if there is only one speaker who will be speaking in a different language, or if there is no equipment for simultaneous interpretation available.
