Sample interview questions
What is your experience translating patent documents from English into Greek?

I have translated and/or edited patent materials for at least two years, with a focus on retaining the source text's technical meaning, legal precision, and consistent terminology in Greek.

How do you ensure terminology consistency across a large patent project?

I review client glossaries and reference materials first, build or maintain a termbase in the CAT environment, and run final consistency checks for repeated claims, component names, units, and technical expressions.

How would you approach an ambiguous technical term in a patent specification?

I would assess the term in its claim and specification context, consult reliable domain references and prior approved translations, and raise a concise query when ambiguity could affect technical or legal meaning.

What is your experience with XTM and JIRA?

I am comfortable using CAT-tool workflows for translation, review, terminology management, and QA, and I can use JIRA to track assignments, questions, status updates, and delivery requirements.

How do you balance turnaround speed with quality in urgent translation work?

I plan work around the deadline, translate in structured batches, perform targeted QA on terminology and numbers, and communicate early if a source issue or clarification is needed so that quality is not compromised.
