Fluid, precise communication for your official events
For your official speeches, inaugurations, talks or other events requiring live multilingual exchanges, our translation and interpreting agency, based in Lyon and Paris, offers you high-quality consecutive interpreting services. Thanks to this technique, we can guarantee optimal comprehension of speeches, whatever the language spoken.
Consecutive interpreting is a technique in which the specialist interpreter listens to the speaker and translates their words once the speaker has finished speaking, usually in segments. While the speaker is talking, the interpreter takes detailed notes using a special high-speed note-taking technique. Once the speaker stops, the interpreter faithfully renders the speech in the target language.
This technique is particularly suitable for :
Unlike live simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting is delayed, meaning that the speaker speaks first and the interpreter translates afterwards. The advantage of this approach is that communication is clear and detailed, but it can also double the length of speeches, as each segment has to be translated afterwards. This is why it is preferred for more formal events where pace is not a crucial issue.
Depending on requirements, it is generally necessary to provide one interpreter for each foreign language spoken at the event.

Whether you are organising an event in Lyon, Paris, Geneva or elsewhere (in or outside France), our language services agency can provide you with tailor-made support from experienced interpreters who specialise in consecutive interpreting.
Every event is unique, and we ensure that our consecutive translators are perfectly suited to the context and nature of your event. We select professionals capable of translating not only the words, but also the spirit of the speeches, taking into account the cultural register and nuances.
Our interpreters are trained in high-speed note-taking techniques and have extensive experience of official speeches and diplomatic environments. They regularly work at high-level events, guaranteeing an accurate and reliable service.
Before each event, our teams ensure that they fully understand the specific needs and context of the speech to ensure that it is delivered accurately. If necessary, we work closely with the speakers to prepare the speech in the best possible conditions.
It is important to note that consecutive interpreting takes longer than simultaneous interpreting, as it requires pauses in speeches to allow the interpreter to translate. This mode of interpreting is particularly recommended for formal events or smaller audiences, whereas simultaneous interpreting is better suited to conferences and large events where time is of the essence.
