Sample interview questions
What experience do you have translating biology-related patent documents from English into Romanian?

I have translated and reviewed technical content requiring precise scientific terminology, and I apply structured terminology research and reference materials to ensure that Romanian patent translations remain accurate, consistent, and readable.

How do you preserve legal meaning while making a patent translation natural in Romanian?

I first identify legally significant claims, defined terms, and repeated terminology. I retain the intended scope and structure of the source while using established Romanian legal and technical phrasing, escalating ambiguities when needed.

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

I use approved glossaries, translation memories, termbases, and project reference files. I also run consistency checks before delivery and document approved terminology decisions for future segments.

How do you approach quality assurance before submitting a translation?

I review the translation against the source for omissions, numerical accuracy, terminology, formatting, and claim consistency. I then use CAT-tool QA checks and perform a final target-language read for clarity and grammar.

How do you manage weekly volumes of 2,000 to 5,000 weighted words while working independently?

I assess complexity and deadlines at intake, schedule translation and review time separately, and communicate early if a terminology or source issue could affect delivery. This process helps me maintain dependable turnaround times without compromising quality.
