Simultaneous Interpreting
Simultaneous Interpreting transfers a spoken message from its original language to its target language in real time. We use audio technology for this.
In most cases, simultaneous interpretation is done one way. It may include two-way communication during Q/A sessions at the event.
Consecutive Translation
Consecutive translation takes place in small meetings or training sessions with small groups. Here, communication is back and forth in source and target languages.
Consecutive translation requires great note-taking ability and memory by the interpreter. It also demands excellent presentation and etiquette. The interpreter is usually at the table or meeting as an active participant.
