Localize Job Posting Templates

You need to localize the content of job posting templates (that is, the Header and Footer) for them to be available for languages other than the default language. For example, if a recruiter selects a job posting template that's not localized for French, the Header and Footer for the French Job Description configuration section will be blank, whereas it will be populated for the default language that is defined. Therefore, be sure to localize your job posting templates in the languages that your organization uses.

In other Recruiting Setup screens, you configure the content for your default language in the main list (before you click Localize). For job posting templates, you have to configure all languages in the localization window, including your default language. For example, if your default language is English (US), but your organization also posts jobs in French, you need to create both English (US) and French values in this window.

To localize a job posting template:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Job Posting Template Configuration and select the template that you want to localize.
2. Click Configure Job Posting Template in the toolstrip. A dialog box with a rich text editor opens.
3. For each language that you want to localize the template for, do the following:
   1. Click Add.
   2. Click the field in the Language column, and then select a language in the drop-down list.
   3. Click the field in the Job Posting Template Name column and enter the localized template name. This is the name that will be displayed in the Job Posting Template drop-down list when posting job requisitions in Recruiting.
   4. (Optional) Click the field in the Description column and add a localized description for the template. This description won't appear in the Recruiting feature UI.
   5. (Optional) Click the field in the Header column to enable the rich text editor below the list, and then enter the localized header content.
   6. (Optional) Click the field in the Footer column to enable the rich text editor below the list, and then enter the localized footer content.
4. Important: You must enter content for the default language, in addition to any other languages that you want to include.
4. Click Save.
