consecutive interpretation

Consecutive interpretation is a translation method where the speaker pauses after delivering a segment of speech, allowing the interpreter to render that segment into another language. The interpreter listens carefully, often taking notes, then shares the translated message once the speaker pauses. This process allows for detailed and accurate communication, suitable for meetings, conferences, and negotiations. It requires the interpreter to be attentive, skilled in note-taking, and able to convey the speaker’s meaning clearly and faithfully. Unlike simultaneous interpretation, where translation happens in real-time, consecutive interpretation proceeds in segments, ensuring clarity and precision.
