Why Choose Consecutive Interpretation for Your Event
Planning an event with participants from different languages and cultures? You’ll probably need interpreters! But, which interpretation service should you choose? It all depends on the type of event, location, duration, budget, and number of participants. Each type of interpretation is best suited to handling different conditions, and consecutive interpreting is highly utilized for a reason! Contact Us for Professional Consecutive Interpretation Services or more information on what service is best for your event.
Consecutive interpretation is standard for all professional interpreters. Contrary to what one might think, it is not only best for formal affairs. Since this type of interpretation doesn’t require any special equipment, it is suited to many different situations: banquets, receptions, inaugurations, guided tours, business trips, diplomatic or celebrity visits, round-table negotiations, incentive tours, etc.
Consecutive Interpretation: a Simple, Relaxed Method
At the table, the interpreter takes notes that will help them faithfully and accurately reproduce all or part of the speech in the target language. Unlike simultaneous interpretation, there’s no need for sophisticated equipment: a pen and notepad will suffice. As it’s name suggests, consecutive interpretation happens once a speaker has finished speaking, or when taking pauses between sections. Consecutive interpreters are highly skilled and while having notes, largely rely on memory!
