Ad hoc, Consecutive and Whispered Interpreting
London-based Atlas Translations can help with all types of interpreting. Consecutive interpreting is when the interpreter verbally translates or summarises (usually in sections) after each of the speakers' contributions to a conversation. It is appropriate for one-to-one and small informal group interpreting and requires no specialised interpreting equipment. This type of interpreting is a relatively slow process, since all contributions to the conversation are repeated in real time. Consecutive interpreting is common for more informal situations - small business meetings, committees and small conferences.
Whispered interpreting can be used if a few people in a small group do not understand a speaker, and the interpreter literally whispers the interpretation.
Please note that many of our interpreters have undertaken Criminal Records Bureau checks and are accustomed to working with vulnerable individuals and/or in sensitive situations.

Case Study 1
London-based Atlas Translations was proud to win the public sector contract to provide consecutive interpreting at immigration centres in over fifty community languages. Atlas Translations won the contract to provide consecutive interpreting because it was able to handle the whole range of languages required, over the entire UK – and at short notice!
Case Study 2
Against fierce competition, Atlas Translations has won various County Council tenders to provide ad hoc interpreting, consecutive interpreting and whispered interpreting in a variety of languages. Needing to deal with sensitive situations involving vulnerable people, Atlas Translations was able to demonstrate that many of its interpreters undergo regular Criminal Records Bureau checks.
Case Study 3
London-based Atlas Translations was asked to supply twenty Chinese, Japanese and Korean interpreters to interpret for the delegates and athletes at the 15th Asian Games held in Qatar. Atlas’s team of interpreters, who were present throughout the Games, enjoyed a thoroughly successful interpreting assignment and received excellent feedback from the client, who congratulated them on their degree of professionalism and the quality of the interpreting service they delivered. By way of a ‘thank you’ a banquet was arranged in the interpreters’ honour and each of the interpreters was awarded a certificate commending their interpretation work.
