Consecutive Interpreting Service

Prime Languages Consecutive Interpreting Service involves the passing of information between speakers in blocks of speech where each speaker takes turns vocalising information. The interpreter acts as a mediator between speakers by passing information between two languages. In Face to Face Interpreting situations Consecutive Interpreting is usually the preferred method of delivery.

The fact that it takes the form of a normal conversation makes it particularly better suited for more personal settings where body language subtleties and detailed accuracy are important factors to consider. It is also used for question & answer style interpretation where individuals need to exchange information as if they were having a conversation in their native language.

Consecutive Interpreter

Our Consecutive interpreter is required to have an excellent short and long term memory as well as an ability to mimic speaking styles in a different language. When asking for an interpreter we will need to know whether our linguist will be required to facilitate communication from one language to another or between both languages.

When there is an explicit need to facilitate communication between languages. The consecutive interpreter is skilled to work in to and out of both source and target languages. We will suit the kind of professional interpreter to your needs having considered target language and audience size, and assessed the event type as well as your values and expectations.

Interpreter Service

Depending on the kind of event, our Professional Interpreters are able to take shorthand notes of speeches in order to relay the information while maintaining fluidity. If the fluidity of the original speech needs to be maintained, and simultaneous interpretation is not favoured, our interpreters can listen to the entire speech and take notes using a special kind of shorthand, and consequently re-present a summary of the speech in the target language. This kind of consecutive interpreting service is particularly suited for informal events where detailed content is not vital.

Note-taking can also be requested in legal or governmental sectors and other critical situations where important statements are made and need to be recorded. In such situations we are able to record the content, transcribe it and translate it if necessary, for the purpose of later use.
