Sample interview questions
I first identify the document type, target audience, and applicable terminology sources. I use approved glossaries and reference materials, verify clinical and safety terminology, and perform a structured final review for meaning, consistency, numbers, units, and formatting.
I assess whether the machine output preserves the source meaning, clinical terminology, and required register before editing it. I correct mistranslations, omissions, terminology inconsistencies, and Hungarian grammar while ensuring the final text meets the same quality standard as human translation.
I would confirm scope and priorities immediately, prepare terminology and reference files, and plan focused translation and review stages. I would communicate early if a source issue could affect quality or timing, while maintaining a final quality-control pass before delivery.
I compare the target text against the source for completeness, accuracy, terminology, style, and regulatory appropriateness. I use Track Changes and concise comments to make edits transparent, prioritizing objective corrections and project-specific conventions.
I would clearly state my English-to-Hungarian life-sciences experience, years of professional translation work, relevant clinical and pharmacovigilance document types, education, CAT tools, quality-review experience, and current contact details.
