Antalya Consecutıve Interpretation
Although “translation” generally means converting from one language to another, there are different types of translation. One of these is known as Consecutive Interpretation. Consecutive interpretation refers to the process of translating speech in real time during a meeting. To make this more concrete: consecutive interpretation is the act of immediately translating from the source language to the target language as the speaker begins. Antalya consecutive interpretation is frequently used in international business meetings or in the meetings of international institutions or organizations. Within our Antalya consecutive interpretation service, the interpreter carefully listens to the speaker’s words during the meeting and translates them instantly into the target language. This ensures real-time synchronization between both parties and enables uninterrupted communication.
ANTALYA’NIN TERCÜME BÜROSU
Performing consecutive interpretation differs somewhat from other types of translation. Simply knowing two languages is not enough. One must also be familiar with both cultures. For example, if the speaker uses a culturally specific reference, it may not make sense when translated directly. The interpreter must understand both cultures well enough to render the meaning appropriately across them. To illustrate, if the speaker uses the Turkish proverb “komşu komşunun külüne muhtaçtır” (literally “a neighbor needs his neighbor’s ashes”), a direct translation would create confusion and be meaningless in another language. This phrase is rooted in our own language and culture, and we understand exactly what it means. However, it would be nonsensical to someone from another culture. In such cases, the interpreter should adapt it to something like “neighbors rely on one another and need good relations” or a similar culturally relevant explanation. Therefore, knowing both cultures well is essential for consecutive interpretation.
In consecutive interpretation, there is no time to pause, think, or research, because the translation must be delivered instantly. It requires a rich vocabulary and a solid understanding of the meeting’s purpose and sector. Accurately conveying industry-specific terms and concepts is critical. Considering all these factors, we would like to emphasize that our Antalya consecutive interpretation service is delivered by true professionals.
