Some questions were the usual behavioural questions (tell me about something you are proud of, have you ever had a conflict and how did you handle it, etc.), but mostly the questions were quite practical: translation tools (describe some QA checks you can run in a particular tool), process (how would you organize an end-to-end process for translating a new language), quality (how would you check the quality of a language you don't speak), collaboration (how would you collaborate cross-functionally).
