Sample interview questions
How do you ensure accuracy when translating biology-related patent claims from English into Slovenian?

I first identify the patent structure, defined terms, and claim dependencies. I research specialized biology terminology in reliable references, maintain consistent terminology throughout the file, and perform a final comparison against the source to confirm that legal scope and technical meaning are retained.

Describe your approach to translating terms that have no direct Slovenian equivalent.

I assess the patent context, existing Slovenian technical usage, and any client terminology resources. If no established equivalent exists, I use a clear, technically defensible rendering and flag the term or add a terminology note when the workflow allows it.

What quality checks do you complete before delivering a patent translation?

I run CAT-tool QA checks for tags, numbers, formatting, and consistency, then conduct a linguistic review for terminology, grammar, and readability. I also verify that claim numbering, references, units, and repeated defined terms match the source accurately.

How would you handle a high-volume assignment with a short turnaround time?

I would confirm scope, reference materials, and delivery milestones at the start, then prioritize terminology preparation and work in manageable batches. I would communicate early about any ambiguity or capacity risk and reserve time for final QA rather than treating review as optional.

What experience do you have using CAT tools and project-management platforms?

I use CAT environments to leverage translation memories, terminology bases, segment-level QA, and bilingual review workflows. I can follow project instructions in tools such as XTM and use platforms such as JIRA to track tasks, clarify issues, and report delivery status.
