Sample interview questions
How do you ensure that a biology patent translation preserves both legal meaning and technical accuracy?

I first identify claim structure, defined terms, and recurring technical concepts. I maintain a consistent terminology base, verify specialised biology terms against reliable sources, and perform a final bilingual review focused on legal scope, omissions, and ambiguity.

Describe your approach to reviewing a patent translation produced by another linguist.

I compare the target text with the source for completeness, terminology consistency, syntax affecting claim scope, and formatting. I document material issues clearly, distinguish preference edits from errors, and confirm that corrections follow the client glossary and style guide.

What steps do you take when a source patent term is ambiguous or has no established Slovenian equivalent?

I review the surrounding disclosure and claim context, consult approved references and terminology resources, and check for prior client or jurisdiction-specific usage. If uncertainty remains, I raise a concise query with options and contextual justification rather than making an unsupported assumption.

How have you used CAT tools in high-volume translation assignments?

I use translation memories, termbases, QA checks, and project instructions to ensure consistency and efficiency. Before delivery, I review automated QA findings, resolve tag or number issues, and conduct a targeted linguistic pass on new and high-risk segments.

How would you manage a weekly volume of up to 5,000 weighted words while maintaining quality?

I would plan work by deadline and complexity, process terminology early, and reserve time for self-review and QA. I would communicate promptly about capacity or source issues and maintain steady progress so that quality checks are not compressed at the end.
