TYPES OF INTERPRETATION
USING INTERPRETERS
Consecutive Interpretation
In consecutive interpretation, an interpreter listens, waits for the speaker to pause, and then provides interpretation into the target language.
Simultaneous Interpretation
In simultaneous interpretation, an interpreter provides interpretation into the target language as the speaker talks. Simultaneous interpretation is useful during international conferences, symposiums, seminars, and employee training. Headsets and other special equipment are usually necessary, unless the interpreter is whispering to one or two nearby individuals. For a half day (up to 4 hours), one or two interpreters are required. For a full day (up to 8 hours), two to four interpreters are required.
