Sample interview questions
I have translated and reviewed patent content in technical domains, applying consistent terminology and preserving legal and technical meaning while ensuring the Estonian text is natural and precise.
I create and follow client glossaries, use CAT-tool terminology functions, review prior approved translations, and perform targeted consistency checks before delivery.
I verify every segment against the source, correct terminology and syntax, remove literal or ambiguous phrasing, and ensure that the final output meets the same standard as human translation.
I conduct a bilingual review for completeness and meaning, run automated QA checks for tags and numbers, review terminology consistency, and perform a final monolingual readability pass.
I assess volume and complexity at the start, confirm feasible deadlines, provide prompt progress updates, and flag terminology questions or capacity risks early so the team can resolve them without delaying delivery.
