Sample interview questionsWhat experience do you have translating medical-device and IVD documentation into Latvian?I have translated and reviewed regulated medical content such as instructions for use, product labels, user manuals, diagnostic-test documentation, and related materials. I apply approved terminology, preserve source meaning, and consider the end user's safety and regulatory context.

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

I begin by reviewing the client terminology, translation memory, reference files, and project instructions. During delivery, I use memoQ QA checks and terminology recognition, then perform a final consistency review of repeated terms, units, warnings, and product names.

How do you approach copy editing a translation prepared by another linguist?

I compare the target text against the source for completeness, accuracy, terminology, formatting, and readability. I make only justified changes, document significant issues where required, and follow the project's review workflow so that the final text remains traceable and consistent.

How would you respond to QA or client feedback that you believe is linguistically incorrect?

I would review the feedback against the source, reference materials, applicable terminology, and project instructions. I would respond professionally with concise evidence for my recommendation and implement the final agreed resolution consistently throughout the relevant content.

How do you manage deadlines for ongoing freelance translation work?

I assess scope, technical complexity, available references, and required review time before accepting work. I maintain a realistic production schedule, communicate risks early, and reserve time for QA checks so that quality is not compromised by delivery pressure.
