Consecutive interpreting is ideally suited to small-medium business meetings and gatherings, where the pace is slower than for fast-paced discussions in larger conferences, which are more suited to simultaneous interpreting. This is a more personal form of interpreting than simultaneous interpreting, as the interpreter will be present during the interpreting. The interpreter will be able to answer any queries the client has, rephrasing or expounding upon sections unclear to the client where necessary – this is rarely possible in simultaneous interpretation.
The interpreter stands next to the client and will translate entire sections of the speech, the length of which will be determined by the unique environment of the setting. The interpreter will listen to what is said, perhaps taking notes, and convey the information to the client after the speaker has finished. This allows the client to absorb all the information in discrete portions, rather than in a constant stream as the speaker is speaking. We also offer this service for medical interpreting.
All our interpreters are highly trained, fully qualified and experienced in consecutive interpreting. They have extensive experience working in NI and so are comfortable with the accents and quirks of language unique to this region, translating all local phraseology and idioms into easily-understood equivalents in the client’s native language. Our interpreters only translate into or out of their native language and one in which they are full qualified and experienced.
