In consecutive interpreting, the original text is rendered in sections: Using our note-taking technique, we interpret individual sections of the text sequentially, alternating with the speaker. Consecutive interpreting is suitable for festive occasions, dinner speeches, bilateral conversations or small groups. For very short assignments, a single interpreter may suffice; otherwise we work as a team as usual. In planning your event, you should take into account that the speaking time is nearly doubled by consecutive interpreting.
Liaison or dialogue interpreting, also known as bilateral interpreting, is a subtype of consecutive interpreting. Here we interpret short sections of a conversation, alternating between the two languages, and thus ensure optimal communication with business partners, with negotiating parties and in confidential conversations.
