Complete is BS. It\'s better to use thorough. No such thing as a complete understanding, philosophically I mean...NOT grammatically...

agree  Steffen Walter: '...requires *a* thorough understanding...'? Or am I being overly pedantic?? Another question vaguely arising is whether they might refer to 'soft skills' but this would not really fit the 'market understanding', would it?
5 mins
  -> not sure about soft skills why not competitive skills then?
agree  Bernard Myers: //...backwards and forwards....inside and out... // Steffen's "soft skills" suggestion appeals to me, too: For certain markets, it clearly fits better than "transferrable skills."

Explanation:
Funny that this sentence looks like the Kudoz sent in the other direction!!! Although the "souple" gives it away: someone is trying to test his translation... It's just a game, I guess
