CONSECUTIVE INTERPRETING

In a nutshell, the speaker pauses and the interpreter interprets what has been said. Although consecutive interpretation is ideal for smaller meetings, some clients occasionally require consecutive interpretation of lectures and workshops.

SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETING

Conference interpreting. Interpreters speak at the same time as the speaker. This is suitable for international conferences, workshops, training sessions and lectures. Typically, simultaneous interpreters work in soundproof booths.

Whispered interpreting (chuchotage). In whispered interpreting (chuchotage, in French), the interpreter sits or stands next to the small target-language audience whilst whispering a simultaneous interpretation of the matter to hand. This method requires no equipment. Chuchotage is used in circumstances where the majority of a group speaks the source language, and a minority (ideally no more than three people) do not speak it.

WE RECOMMEND - Many people have only a vague, and often incorrect, idea what the interpreting is all about. Close cooperation between organizer, collocutor and interpreter is very important. Article "How To Communicate Effectively Through Interpreters" summarizes what needs to be considered when you want to employ services of an interpreter and should be read even by those who have some experience already. Keep in mind, that even the best speaker will not impress his audience if the interpreting is not up to standard.
