What are the main types of interpreting?
Consecutive interpreting (done after the speaker has finished an utterance, during a pause), simultaneous interpreting (done almost at the same time with the speaker), sight translation/interpreting (interpreting from a written material with little or no preparation). Also, it could be community-based, or done at a conference level (utilising specialised equipment which includes soundproof booths, microphones and headsets). Remote interpreting (telephone and video) is popular, particularly tripartite telephone interpreting.
