When presented with an opportunity to share a story, be sure to clearly outline the direction you want to go in your response so you don't miss a key component or go down an unintended path. Your response doesn't need to be directly in the field of translation. The interviewer is looking for a candidate that will approach this question as objectively as possible and focus more on the solution than on the problem, itself. Consider a few scenarios that reference different kinds of 'difficulty' with solutions that you played an active role in executing.
