Sample interview questionsHow do you ensure accuracy when translating clinical trial and pharmacovigilance documents?I research approved terminology, follow client glossaries and reference materials, preserve the source meaning precisely, and conduct a structured self-review for terminology, numbers, units, formatting, and internal consistency before delivery.

What is your approach to machine translation post-editing for safety content?

I first assess whether the machine output is usable, then correct meaning, terminology, grammar, register, and omissions while preserving required formatting. For safety content, I give particular attention to adverse-event terminology, causality language, dosage information, and patient-safety implications.

Which CAT-tool practices help you maintain quality across large projects?

I use translation memories, termbases, QA checks, filters, and concordance searches to maintain consistency. I also review locked segments, tags, repetitions, and warnings carefully before exporting the final deliverable.

How do you manage a non-extendable deadline for a complex medical translation?

I assess volume and complexity immediately, clarify any blocking questions early, prioritize high-risk content, and reserve time for QA. I communicate promptly if source issues or terminology questions could affect delivery, while managing my workload to protect the committed deadline.

How would you handle a source term that is ambiguous or lacks an approved Spanish equivalent?

I would check project references, prior translations, client terminology, reputable medical sources, and the document context. If uncertainty remains, I would raise a concise query with proposed options and document the final decision for consistent use throughout the project.
