Effective Consecutive Interpreting from highly skilled professionals.

At Intrawelt, we understand the need for fast, effective interpretation. That’s why we employ some of the world’s highly qualified consecutive interpreters to work with our clients. Not only can we provide accuracy, but smooth flowing interpretation for a successful discussion. 

Our highly skilled consecutive interpreters are fluent in many languages. Depending on the nature of the speech to be translated, you’ll be assigned an interpreter best suited to your niche; someone who knows your industry and language well. 

How does consecutive interpretation work?

Unlike simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpretation involves an interpreter speaking during pauses between sentences. They’ll listen to the main speaker and reproduce the speech to the audience after a short selection of sentences have been said. They may have to take down notes during a speech to be able to give an audience an accurate translation.

Usually, the speaker in a discussion is allowed to speak without interruption. As the amount of speech to be translated can be lengthy, interpreters can use a note system to help them in the interpretation. This doesn’t mean memorising every word, but the meaning of the words spoken. 

The interpreter will usually stand or sit close to the speaker, taking any notes as and when needed. When a speaker has finished their speech or takes a break, the interpreter will then reproduce the speech to the audience as the speaker did, just in the desired language.

Consecutive interpreting is a start/stop type of interpretation. Because of this, it can be much slower than other methods. However, smaller group meetings and interviews for example would benefit from this type of interpretation. Conversations can then flow smoothly as a result, instead of the need for people to speak over one another. 

How is it beneficial?

One of the biggest advantages of consecutive interpretation is that it doesn’t require endless preparation or specialised equipment. Interpreters simply use their knowledge and skills to interpret a speech or discussion and convey it to the right people. Consecutive interpreting is best suited to a more interactive environment or situation.
