Consecutive Interpreting at a Glance
Consecutive interpreting works through turn-taking. It suits discussions where participants can pause between short sections of speech. Allow time for both the original speech and its interpretation.
Clear turn-taking
Agree how speakers pause and how questions are handled.
Context before the meeting
Share the agenda, subject, participant roles and terminology before the assignment.
Language and logistics

For events where the speaker must continue without interpretation pauses, compare simultaneous interpreting. The format changes the event and equipment requirements.

Consecutive Interpreting: Your Questions Answered
How does consecutive interpreting work?
The speaker pauses after a short passage while the interpreter conveys it in the other language. We provide this service in all countries and languages, including remotely. Participants continue in turns.
How is it different from simultaneous interpreting?
Consecutive interpreting uses pauses. Simultaneous interpreting happens while the speaker continues and usually requires audio equipment.
What information is needed for a quote?
Send languages, date, location, duration, subject, participant numbers and the agenda. Include institution-specific requirements.
Do I need to allow extra meeting time?
Yes. Speech and interpretation happen in sequence, so the agenda needs time for both.
What materials help the interpreter prepare?
Share the agenda, participant names, roles, slides and specialist terminology before the assignment. Identify any documents that will be discussed so the interpreter can prepare for the subject.
Does interpreting include a written translation of meeting documents?
No, written translation is a separate service. Identify documents that need translating before or after the meeting and request them separately from the spoken interpreting assignment.
How do I request an assignment?
Use the email event brief link to send your requirements to [email protected]. Availability, scope and price are confirmed before booking.
