Nicklas Kelly Austad, Language and Localization specialist at KMD Case Management

Alumnus of KU where he graduated with a Master's degree in English and Religious studies in 2019.

In his role as Language and Localization specialist, he considers himself a proud parent who follows the text through all its stages in life: He helps conceive the UI texts that they use in their software solutions, he documents them, makes sure they are translated to the supported languages, and he writes the copy that advertises it.

KMD Case Management is part of KMD A/S, a company that has been delivering software solutions to the public Danish market since the 70's. In KMD Case Management, they deliver software that, for example, is behind generating Fødevarestyrelsen's Smiley reports and the "Blå sygesikringskort" that you all carry with you when you travel. Oh, and last but not least: When you graduate one day, the letter that you receive with your grades and your title will have been generated and sent by KMD.
