Consecutive translation is a method of interpreting where the speaker pauses after a few sentences to allow the interpreter to convey the message in another language. This technique is commonly used in settings like conferences, meetings, and legal proceedings, where clear communication is essential. During consecutive translation, the interpreter listens carefully, takes notes, and then translates the spoken content into the target language. This approach allows for more accurate and nuanced translations, as the interpreter can focus on the speaker's intent and context before delivering the message to the audience.
