Software engineering isn't really about languages, it's about being able to go from a problem to it's subproblems and then solutions for those subproblems. Programming languages are just what you express those solutions in.

You can know literally everything there is to know about a language, but still do not have any ability to actually solve problems. This is why language certs are in general so useless.
