What is
Consecutive Interpretation?
Consecutive interpreting is often known as classic interpretation
since the discourse is interpreted in the required language as the
speaker has concluded. Consecutive Interpretation relies on the
interpreter listening to the statements of the speaker and conveying
these to the target language. For consecutive interpreting, the
interpreter places themself near to the speaker and takes notes
while listening. The speaker will pause every 5 or 10 minutes so
that the interpreter can repeat their speech in the target language.
Alternatively, the interpreter can wait until the end of the speech
before presenting it in full in the desired language. Consecutive
interpreting increases the length of the meeting or conference. For
this reason, consecutive interpreting is recommended for short
meetings or conferences lasting a maximum of one or two hours. It is
the most common interpreting method for press conferences.
In consecutive interpreting service, a complex system of symbols and
abbreviations are used in order to take the detailed notes as the
speaker delivers the speech. The system was developed over the years
through experience and training. There are a very large number of
systems that exist today for taking notes.

Applications of Consecutive Interpretation
Professional interpreting is usually for small presentations,
meetings or conferences. In consecutive interpreting, the
professionals start interpreting once the speaker has stopped
speaking. Therefore, the interpreters have time to evaluate and
analyze the message in its whole that makes it possible for them to
deliver high quality consecutive interpreting service.
