| L10N engineering is an important part of
the professional localization process. CSOFT localization engineers
are specially trained to work with a variety of software tools,
file types, and OS platforms to support the localization of our
clients' wide range of product portfolios.
Among the various tasks conducted
by our localization engineers are the following:

- Compilation and engineering (software builds, dialog box
resizing)
- Cosmetic testing
- File conversions (clean/uncleaned files, preparation for
DTP)
- Customization of TM tools
All CSOFT localization engineers are equipped with in-depth
knowledge of different OS's (Windows, Mac, Linux), software
utilities, translation tools, development environments, and multiple
programming languages. Being technical is an important differentiation
between CSOFT and other translation (only) companies.

- Working knowledge of installation/configuration of multilingual
OS and platforms

programming languages such as Microsoft Visual Studio, Java,
and Linux
- Intimate knowledge of internationalization, Unicode, and
