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.
Your speaker delivers a few sentences and then pauses whilst the Consecutive
Interpreter repeats what has just been said in the target language.
The Consecutive Interpreter may interpret for the whole group or, as
is becoming increasingly common, sit next to an individual and whisper
what has just been said. Consecutive Interpreting is not done in real-time.
Suggestion: Have you considered conducting your meeting via
teleconference or video conference as opposed to face to face? Consecutive
Interpreting lends itself very well to these formats and can result
in dramatic savings in cost and executive downtime. London Translations
will be pleased to arrange your teleconference, no specialist equipment
is required.

important considerations when planning events requiring Consecutive
Interpreters, please see our Consecutive
Interpreting FAQ.
