Complete a consecutive-interpretation turn
Practice the court / conference consecutive order from interpreter training. The rendition is not started until the speaker has finished, and nothing is added that was not said.
- Position so both parties can be heard.
- Keep the record clear.
- Swear or state the interpreter role if the proceeding requires it.
- Listen and note while the speaker finishes the segment.
- Render the full meaning into the target language without addition or omission.
- Ask for repetition only if a segment was inaudible, not to editorialize.
- Stay in the first person.
- Do not answer for the speaker.
