Sequential Interpretation
Sequential interpretation is a method used in translation where the interpreter listens to a speaker and then conveys the message in another language after the speaker pauses. This technique allows for a more accurate and coherent translation, as the interpreter can process the information before delivering it to the audience. It is commonly used in settings like conferences, meetings, and legal proceedings.
In sequential interpretation, the interpreter often takes notes to help remember key points and ensure that the message is conveyed accurately. This approach contrasts with simultaneous interpretation, where the interpreter translates in real-time without pauses. Both methods are essential in facilitating communication across different languages and cultures.
