aptitude (n.) ... natural ability to do something

I work with a lot of freelance translators. My job is checking translated documents for mistakes. Most translators are very competent. However, to my disappointment, there are some translators who I think lack an aptitude for translation work.

predicament (n.) ... a difficult or unpleasant situation in which you don't know what to do
