Workflows you can trust.
Run your workflow without bending your process to the tools.
I’m Francesca Govoni, Senior Localization Engineer,
CAT Tools Specialist, and memoQ Certified Trainer.
I work at the intersection of translation technology,
software engineering, and functional QA.
What I work on, every day
My focus is simple: making sure that multilingual software actually works once translated.
I design and stabilize localization workflows for teams working with complex file formats,
compiled builds, and CAT tool ecosystems.
- Engineering of localized software: resource compilation, troubleshooting, functional testing
- CAT tools training and workflow optimization
- Debugging, technical analysis, and troubleshooting for compiled builds and software resources (DLLs, XML, XLIFF, TMX), including schema-driven and rule-based structured content.
- Custom solutions to address technical bottlenecks and edge cases, through targeted automation and validation.
I help companies reduce complexity, prevent technical issues, and deliver reliable multilingual products.
Tools & automation
I develop practical tools to validate, control, and automate localization workflows — designed around real production constraints and technical edge cases.
One tool is available for free; others are offered as professional solutions, tailored to complex, high-risk workflows.
XML Validator
Free
Validate XML and XLIFF files instantly.
No installation, no data retention.
Designed for real localization workflows.
Workflow Controls
ProControls applied across the localization workflow to detect issues before they propagate downstream: batch validation, consistency checks, and targeted technical verification.
Custom Tools
ProTools built specifically for your workflow, when standard software does not fit your specific case.
Let’s talk
If your localization workflow feels fragile, slow, or risky,
the root cause is often technical.
