A localized careers site ensures that candidates from different regions can explore your open roles, understand your company culture, and apply in their preferred language. In Tellent, you can enable global language options, add a language switcher to your navigation layout, translate custom page sections, and set up multi-language job descriptions.
Important: To localize your careers site, you must first ensure that multiple languages are enabled in your company account settings.
Enable languages in the CareersHub
Before candidates can view your site in different languages, you must activate those languages inside the CareersHub.
1. Go to CareersHub > Settings.
2. Select Languages on the left.
3. Toggle the switch next to each language you want to enable.
All default system text on your careers site will instantly become available in the enabled languages.
Tip: You can also customize the default system text for any enabled language to better match your brand's voice and tone.
Add a language picker to your careers site
Allow visitors to switch between your enabled languages using a visible language picker in your site's header or footer.
1. Open the CareersHub dashboard.
2. Edit the page where you want to add the picker.
2. Click the three vertical dots in the Navigation or Footer section on the right side of the editor and select Edit theme.
3. Toggle the switch next to Show languages.
4. Click Update to save your theme changes.
Translate custom page content
Any custom sections or text you add to your careers site pages must be translated manually within the page editor.
1. Navigate to the editor for the specific page you want to translate.
2. Switch to your target language using the language dropdown at the top of the page.
3. Locate the section you want to translate and click Edit section.
4. Enter the translated text in the new language. You can copy and paste the formatting from previously existing languages to maintain visual consistency.
5. Click Done.
6. Repeat these steps for any other custom sections, then click Save or Publish.
Note: Not all section types support full per-language customization. For example, you cannot currently swap or replace the image file in an image section for individual languages.
Tip: You can also translate sections on the fly without switching the view for the whole page! Simply use the internal language switcher located directly inside the section editor.
Allow language switching per job
Depending on your company language settings, you may have job postings available in languages that your overall careers site does not support. Adding a language picker to your job details template allows candidates to read specific job descriptions in those additional languages.
1. Go to the CareersHub and click Edit next to the Job details page template.
2. In the section menu on the right, click the three vertical dots for the Job headline section and select Edit section.
3. Toggle the switch for Show languages.
4. Click Done and Publish your changes.
Visitors can now switch between different languages directly above the job title without changing the overall language of the rest of your careers site.
