Simultaneous Icelandic interpretation (SI).
Simultaneous Icelandic interpretation consists of doing work in a group at a forum or big meeting. The Icelandic interpreter is seated in a soundproof cubicle and instantly converts what is being stated, so listeners hear the interpretation using an ear piece while the speaker is still speaking. A variation of this is whispering where the interpreter sits near someone or a small group of people and whispers the interpretation as the speaker continues.

Consecutive Icelandic interpretation (CI).
Consecutive interpretation is actually a lot more common in smaller sized meetings and discussions. The speaker may pause immediately after each sentence and wait even though the Icelandic interpreter translates what is being said into English or another appropriate language.

Icelandic Liaison interpretation.
This is usually known as ad hoc and relay, is a form of two-way interpreting of Icelandic language where the Icelandic interpreter translates every few Icelandic sentences while the speaker stops briefly. This is common in telephone interpreting as well as in legal and health circumstances.
