Modes of Interpreting
Simultaneous
Simultaneous interpreting is a running rendition of everything said in the source language into the target language. Simultaneous interpreting requires that interpreters listen and speak almost concurrently with the primary speaker whose words are being translated. In effect, interpreters are simultaneously performing two tasks in the field of language communication that are otherwise practiced separately: speech and understanding.
Consecutive
Consecutive interpreting is the “question and answer” mode in which the speaker completes a statement and the interpreter begins to interpret after the statement is completed. The consecutive mode is most often utilized with witnesses on the stand.
