I perform a structured linguistic and technical review covering medical accuracy, consistency, readability, formatting, and regulatory terminology, then resolve queries with documented rationale and complete a final quality check before delivery. Describe your approach to building and maintaining terminology resources for a life-sciences account. I establish approved bilingual terms from client references, prior validated content, regulatory sources, and subject-matter review. Each entry includes context, definition, part of speech, prohibited variants where needed, and approval status; I maintain version control and communicate updates to all assigned linguists. How would you handle a client escalation concerning inconsistent Chinese terminology across deliverables? I would assess the affected files, identify the scope and root cause, compare usage against approved resources, and coordinate corrections with the relevant linguists and quality stakeholders. I would provide the client with a clear corrective-action plan and implement preventive measures such as glossary updates, reviewer guidance, or workflow checks. What experience do you have working with CAT tools and machine translation post-editing in regulated content? I use CAT tools to maintain translation memory leverage, terminology consistency, traceability, and quality checks. For MT post-editing, I apply a risk-based approach: I validate meaning, clinical terminology, omissions, fluency, and compliance with client style requirements rather than accepting output solely because it is linguistically fluent. How do you balance multiple urgent projects while coordinating external linguists? I prioritize work by delivery risk, regulatory impact, client commitments, and available capacity. I set clear milestones, assign resources based on specialty and performance data, track queries and progress proactively, and escalate early when a quality or schedule risk requires a decision.
