您会做您认为是正确的事吗?
>>> Will you do what you think is right?

I don't understand what you're trying to tell me.

If you translate "您會做您認為正確的事嗎" into English, it will be "Are you going to do what you think is right?"
And if you translate "你在做你覺得對的事嗎" into English, it will be "Are you doing what you think is right?"
Both 您,你 mean "you" in Chinese, but the former is more respectful.
覺得 means "feel," "think," in Chinese.
Both 正確,對 mean "right," "correct".
In Brief, I was trying to tell you that "你在做你覺得對的事嗎" would be more precise in terms of the Chinese translation of "Are you doing what you think is right?"

By the way, I forgot to tell you that 在+verb in Chinese is equal to the progressive tense in English and 會+verb the future tense.
All in all, I just want to be more precise. Thank you if you can understand me.

The Chinese translation has nothing to do with me. This English sentence was originally an orphan sentence. I adopted it because it was grammatically correct. It is linked to the Japanese sentence, so the English and Japanese should match. (I don't know Japanese)
The Chinese sentence is linked to the English sentence, so if you think there is an inaccuracy in the Chinese translation, you should post it under the Chinese sentence where its author can make a correction.

Sorry, I did not know I should make a comment on the Chinese sentence. Thank you for reminding me. Next time when I add a comment, I'll be more careful. No offense.
