Simultaneous Interpreting
The interpreter renders the message into the target language as the speaker delivers it, with no pauses in between.
Consecutive Interpreting
The speaker delivers a message, pausing every few sentences to allow the interpreter to repeat the message into the target-language.
Sight Translation
The interpreter provides an oral rendition of written text into a language different from the original text.
Whispered
The interpreter sits next to the listener and conducts simultaneous interpreting in a lowered voice so as not to distract or interrupt the speaker.
Relay
In a process involving multiple interpreters, one interpreter conveys the original message into a common language, and another interpreter renders the message from the common language into the target language.
Liaison
The interpreter acts as a mediator between the two parties, interpreting every sentence spoken by both during the mediation.
