RC GROUP

Whisper interpretation or "chuchotage" (the French term)  is when the interpreter translates into a language which the majority of the participants understand by whispering the speech into the ear of the delegate.

 

Whispered interpretation is used when one or two delegates speak a different language yet the meeting is taking place in one language (French, for example). 

 

The Interpreter sits beside the delegate or a walk with the delegate in case of site visits and whispers the interpretation during the meeting. It is more of an informal type of language interpretation.
