What is Consecutive Translation?
Consecutive translation is a frequently used translation method. Although consecutive translation is somewhat similar to simultaneous translation, consecutive translation is a more classical method than simultaneous translation. In addition, consecutive interpreting is more preferred due to its lower risk ratio.
Before answering the question the question What does consecutive mean? should be answered. Consecutive literally means a person who fills a vacancy in a task, in someone’s place. It originates from Arabic.
Consecutive translation is the act of taking notes while listening to a speaker speaking in a foreign language and translating them to the listener or listeners after the speaker has finished speaking. Consecutive translation is done in a sequential manner.
Consecutive translation can resemble simultaneous translation in this way. However, there are points where it differs from simultaneous translation. These points are as follows;
- Consecutive translation does not require equipment like simultaneous translation
- In consecutive translation, the interpreter communicates one-on-one with the listener, not through a headset like simultaneous translation.
- While memory is important in consecutive translation, fluency is important in simultaneous translation
Simultaneous translation also ensures that the translation is fluent and non-stop. In consecutive translation, the translation continues with interruptions. Therefore, the consecutive translator should not lose the attention and dynamism of the listener.
Areas Where Consecutive Interpreting Is Preferred and Its Advantages
Consecutive translation services are highly preferred due to the low risk involved in consecutive translation. Consecutive translation is mostly preferred for bilateral communication or for meetings with a small number of people. Both for this reason and because consecutive translation is done in a sequential manner, there is no need for technological equipment. Areas where consecutive translation is preferred;
- Interviews
- Legal and Medical Meetings
- Workshops
- Press conferences
- Bilateral communications
- Courts
In these areas, consecutive translation should generally be preferred. Consecutive translation also has many advantages. The advantages of consecutive translation can be listed as follows;
- No need for technological equipment
- Providing the translator with the opportunity to give a better sense of the translation
- The translation is of high quality and well done
Consecutive translation offers these advantages. In addition, there are some issues that a consecutive translator should pay attention to. These are to ensure that translators do not lose concentration and attention. The translator may be allowed to wait for a while, but this wait should not be long.
There are no breaks in consecutive translations. Therefore, it can be a bit tiring. But this can be overlooked in favor of many other advantages.
