What is Consecutive Interpreting and Where is it Used?
The oldest tradition of translation is interpreting between people who speak different languages, and there are different interpreting methods.
In consecutive interpreting, the speaker waits after a few sentences and gives the interpreter time to translate what has been said. In the meantime, the interpreter performs consecutive interpreting from the source language into the target language.
Since no special technical equipment is required for consecutive translation, the costs are lower than for simultaneous interpreting. For this reason, it is the most commonly used interpreting method for short or small organizations and events, press conferences, business meetings or legal processes such as courts and hearings.
What is the Difference between Simultaneous and Consecutive Interpreting?
The two main categories of interpreting, which are often confused, are simultaneous and consecutive interpreting. English simultaneous translation and other language simultaneous translation services, also known as interpreting in real-time, is generally preferred in large organizations, conferences, symposia and meetings. Generally, several speakers from abroad take part in such long events. While the speaker continues to speak at his or her own pace, the interpreter performs the translation with a microphone and headphone elsewhere in the hall in a translation booth. The audience has the opportunity to listen to the speaker in his or her native language via headphones. However, since with consecutive interpretation translation and speech does not take place at the same time, the event may take longer than usual.

Professional Consecutive Interpreting Solutions
In order to do consecutive interpreting, an interpreter must be specially trained in this field. Consecutive interpreting is done in a very short period of time, almost instantly, and requires different skills. These include note-taking and memory techniques while listening to the speaker, keeping what is being said in mind, long attention span, imagining the translation in mind and finally eloquence.
Consecutive interpreting is not a translation service that can be provided by any translator, since not everyone who speaks a foreign language has these skills by default.
In contrast to translation, interpreting is prone to errors, which you cannot simply go back and rectify. Therefore, consecutive Interpreting should only be carried out by experts.
