What are Consecutive and Simultaneous Interpreting as Types of Verbal Translation?

Which Service Should I Get for Verbal Translation?

The need for translation of written texts is frequently encountered. Whether for official documents, during academic studies, or even outside of these in social life for marriages or divorces with foreigners, visa applications, and all Apostille procedures, especially due to their official content, transactions can be handled through a sworn translation office. Did you know that you can also get services from these offices for your verbal translation needs, which are separate from written needs?

What is Consecutive Interpreting?

When we talk about verbal translation, the term we often hear is simultaneous interpreting. Simultaneous interpreting is done instantly and is generally used for official meetings that are short but technical, and require experience with the content. Actually, the type of interpreting referred to as consecutive, which we can translate into Turkish as 'ardıl çeviri', is exactly like this. The fundamental difference between these two types of interpreting is that simultaneous interpreting is done through an audio system. It is usually observed in European Union or NATO meetings where everyone listens to the speaker via headphones. Apart from simultaneous interpreting, the consecutive interpreting we mentioned, also known as 'ardıl çeviri', can be preferred in meetings that will be short or have limited language diversity, without the use of an audio system. Whether it is consecutive or simultaneous interpreting, a sworn translation office has the necessary equipment for all of these.
