In Spanish, software developer is 'desarrollador de software' and software engineer is 'ingeniero informático'. Probably the translation is not exact, but if it were: Developer is someone who develops, who makes/transforms things. Software developer is someone who makes/transforms software. Engineer is someone who studied engineering, a career. Software engineer is someone who studied the software engineering career. So, at least in Spanish, a software engineer is someone who has a degree in software engineering, no matter what his job is. And a software developer is someone who writes code, no matter what his studies are. Usually those terms intersect, but not necessarily. I think it's a similar different of a particular teacher vs a professional professor.
