ArcGIS Engine 是一组完备的并且打包的嵌入式GIS 组件库，开发人员可用来创建新的或扩展已有的桌面应用程序。（ArcGIS Engine is a complete library of embeddable geographic information system (GIS) components for developers to build custom applications. Using ArcGIS Engine, you can embed GIS functions into existing applications and build focused custom applications that deliver advanced GIS systems to many users.）开发人员可以将GIS 功能嵌入到已有的应用软件中，或嵌入到商业生产应用软件中，或创建集中式自定义应用软件，并将其发送给多个用户。

       ArcGIS Engine 由两个产品组成：软件开发工具包和开发应用程序能够运行的可再发布的Runtime（运行时环境）。（ArcGIS Engine consists of a Software Developer Kit (SDK) and a redistributable runtime providing the platform for all ArcGIS applications. ）ArcEngine支持Window、Solaris、Linux系统，开发人员能方便地构建跨平台的GIS应用程序解决方案。(Since ArcGIS Engine is supported on Windows, Solaris, and Linux (Intel), developers can create cross-platform custom solutions for a wide range of users.)

ArcEngine SDK

      ArcGIS Engine 开发工具包是一个基于组件的软件开发产品，可用于构建自定义GIS 和制图应用软件。(The ArcGIS Engine SDK is a component-based software development product for building and deploying custom GIS and mapping applications.)它并不是一个终端用户产品，而是软件开发人员的工具包，适于为Windows、UNIX 或Linux 用户构建基础制图和综合动态GIS 应用软件。ArcGIS Engine SDK并不是一个最终用户产品，而是一个应用程序开发工具包。（The ArcGIS Engine SDK for the .NET Framework is not an end user product but rather a toolkit for application developers.）它可以用来构建基本或全面的地图浏览器和动态的地理信息系统的编辑解决方案。（It can be used to build basic map viewers or comprehensive and dynamic GIS editing solutions.）基于ArcGIS Engine SDK，你将拥有前所未有的灵活性去创建定制的自己的地图界面。你可以在各种工业标准的编程环境中用它来创建独立的应用或将Engine的组件嵌入到其它的软件组件中来实现地图和所管理的其它信息之间的协同关系。（With the ArcGIS Engine SDK, you, as a developer, have an unprecedented flexibility for creating customized interfaces for maps. You can use Visual Studio with C# or Visual Basic .NET to create unique applications or combine ArcGIS Engine components with other software components to realize a synergistic relationship between maps and the information that users manage.）
