I use established terminology resources and project glossaries to ensure consistency. How do you handle ambiguous terminology in a patent document? I first analyze the surrounding claims, specifications, and defined terms to determine the intended meaning. If ambiguity remains, I document the issue, consult approved references or client terminology, and escalate a targeted query when necessary. How do you ensure consistency across a large patent translation project? I maintain a terminology list, apply translation-memory matches carefully, and perform structured QA checks for repeated terms, numbers, units, and formatting. I also review context rather than relying solely on automated CAT-tool suggestions. Describe your approach to copy-editing a technical translation created by another linguist. I compare the target text against the source for completeness and accuracy, then review terminology, grammar, style, and formatting. I provide specific, constructive feedback and clearly distinguish critical meaning issues from stylistic preferences. How would you manage a weekly workload exceeding 5,000 words while maintaining quality? I would plan capacity by document complexity and deadline, reserve time for terminology research and final QA, and communicate early about any risks. Using XTM efficiently, along with disciplined review passes, helps maintain both throughput and accuracy. Next step ## Apply now.
