I use CAT-tool terminology features consistently, document approved decisions, and run final QA checks to identify inconsistent terms, numbers, and units. What is your approach to machine translation post-editing for regulated medical content? I assess whether the machine output preserves the source meaning, safety information, terminology, and required register. I fully correct errors rather than relying on surface fluency, then verify formatting, tags, units, warnings, and client-specific terminology before delivery. How would you handle an ambiguous source phrase in an instruction for use? I would first consult approved references, product context, and the client terminology resources. If ambiguity remains and could affect safety, usability, or compliance, I would raise a clear query with the project manager rather than making an unsupported assumption. Describe your experience reviewing another linguist's medical translation. I review against the source and focus on accuracy, completeness, terminology, grammar, style, formatting, and regulatory suitability. I provide constructive corrections with concise rationale, especially for changes that affect technical meaning or consistency. How do you manage deadlines while maintaining quality on recurring translation assignments? I plan capacity early, estimate effort by content complexity, and reserve time for self-review and QA. I communicate risks promptly, maintain organized project files and terminology, and avoid sacrificing required quality checks to meet a deadline. Next step ## Apply now.
