FAQ consecutive interpreting
What is consecutive interpreting?
Consecutive interpreting is a form of interpreting where the speaker pauses after a segment of speech, allowing the interpreter to convey the message in the target language. This approach is commonly used in meetings, interviews, legal proceedings and professional consultations where accuracy and clarity are essential.
When should I use consecutive interpreting instead of simultaneous interpreting?
Consecutive interpreting is suitable for smaller meetings, interviews, legal discussions and situations where participants can pause between statements. It does not require specialist interpreting equipment and allows for careful, accurate interpretation of each exchange.
Can consecutive interpreting be provided remotely?
Yes. Consecutive interpreting can be delivered in person or remotely via secure video conferencing platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Webex. Remote interpreting allows participants in different locations to communicate effectively without requiring travel.
How do you select the right interpreter for my meeting?
We assign interpreters based on language combination, subject matter and meeting type. Where relevant, interpreters review your materials and terminology in advance so they understand the context and can interpret accurately.
Do you support confidential or sensitive meetings?
Yes. Our interpreters follow strict professional and confidentiality standards. Consecutive interpreting is regularly provided for legal, business and organisational discussions where discretion is required.
Can you support ongoing interpreting requirements?
Yes. We support both one-off meetings and ongoing interpreting needs. Where continuity is important, we can assign the same interpreter to maintain familiarity with your organisation, terminology and context.
Do you use AI for consecutive interpreting?
Consecutive interpreting is delivered by professional human interpreters. Technology may support scheduling and remote delivery, but human interpreters remain essential to convey meaning accurately and understand context during live discussions.
