Localization Engineering
Freelance Localization Engineers
Localization engineers prepare files for translation and put them back together afterward. They extract translatable text, protect code and tags, build CAT tool packages, manage encoding and locale handling, and automate the technical workflow so translators and DTP operators can work without breaking the source.
When to hire one
- You have software, an app, or a website and need the translatable strings extracted and reintegrated cleanly.
- Your source files are complex (XML, JSON, structured content) and need preparing for a CAT tool.
- You need a translation management system set up, connected, or automated.
- You are hitting encoding, locale, or text-expansion problems and need someone who understands the technical layer.
