Short Interview (30min) with professional translators about their routine

@steins2017

Dear Stanislav, I'd be happy to have an interview with you. I am a specialized academic translator who utilized AI CAT tools in translating four books and other long articles. Let me know when it's best for you and I'll be there. Best

Hi Stanislav, I’ve read your project with care and I’m confident I can provide practical, translator-centered insights. I’ve worked extensively with professional document translation across books, legal documents, manuals, and scientific papers, always prioritizing layout preservation alongside accurate terminology. My approach is to share real-world workflows, pain points, and concrete examples of what would genuinely improve productivity and quality when interfacing with AI translation tools. In our interview, I’ll cover: how translators currently structure work, file formats and layout challenges, how AI aids or hinders precision, and the most valuable features that would support your product concept. I’ll tailor examples to your stated focus on format and layout, translation, and documentation processes, ensuring the discussion yields actionable input for your development roadmap. If you’d like, I can align the discussion to your attachment questions and share practical anecdotes from large-scale and legally sensitive projects. The call can be scheduled within your 30-40 minute window, and I appreciate the compensation offer. I’m happy to discuss a timeline that works for you and confirm the interview format (video or audio) ahead of time. What is the single biggest layout-related bottleneck you face when translating documents, and how would you want a tool to help you overcome it? Best regards, RICHARD

Hi Stanislav, I’ve been working as a professional document translator for several years, translating articles and various types of documents where accuracy and layout consistency are important. I regularly use AI translation tools in my workflow and have hands-on experience with their real-world limitations and challenges. I’d be happy to share practical insights about my workflow, pain points, and what would actually be useful for professional translators. Your research-focused approach sounds very interesting, and I’d be glad to take part in the call.
