Nowadays, Consecutive Interpreting (CI) is the most commonly used mode of interpretation. The interpreter renders the interpretation of what the source-language speaker has said once the latter has finished speaking. The speech is divided into segments, and the interpreter sits or stands beside the source-language speaker, listening and taking notes as the speaker progresses through the message.

Consecutive interpretation is used in both formal and informal situations and it is the preferred mode for small groups and one-on-one meetings, press conferences, interviews, medical consultations, witness stand in trials, depositions, sworn statements, sentencing, and other legal proceedings.

In formal settings, the interpreter repeats the exact meaning of each sentence in the listener's language as closely as possible to the original speech. In informal settings, the interpreter interacts with both parts in order to facilitate a smooth communication.
