CONSECUTIVE INTERPRETING
02.
Consecutive interpreting
The interpreter takes notes from which he orally translates the substance of the speech by summarizing it.
The task of the interpreter is not only to understand the language, but also to take note of the entire core of the message.
The consecutive allows a direct contact between the interpreter and the speaker and no technical help is needed except a microphone and a chair.
This method of interpretation has the disadvantage of doubling the duration of the intervention, since once the interlocutor has spoken, the interpreter will have to repeat everything in the target language. However, this technique is often used if the participants are not too numerous and the speech has to be translated into one language.
Example: press conferences, negotiations or internships
