Fragen und Antworten » Consecutive Translating

Consecutive Translating is a type of interpreting in which interpreter waits for the speaker to make a pause in their speech, interpret what has been said and then listen to the speaker and wait for them to make a pause again to interpret. The frequency of pauses varies greatly but pauses are usually made after completing a few sentences. If the speaker is talking for a longer period of time, interpreter usually makes notes in order to render an accurate translation.
