Translate Application Form Responses

Use Translate applicant responses to translate application form responses into the client default language. This helps reviewers understand content submitted in another language and improves application review quality.

Tip: The feature is available only when it is turned on for the client account. Contact your Account Manager or CSM to enable it.

How translation works

• Fields translate automatically except for Text and Text area fields.

• To translate Text and Text area responses, enable Translate applicant responses when you configure the field.

• Application responses display in their original language. Select View translated responses to view the translated version.

• Translation works only when applicants submit an application in a language different from the client's default language.
