Translate Custom Emails
System email templates are automatically translated by the system based on a user's language settings. However, custom email copies are not translated automatically. Instead, you can translate copies into other languages to accommodate international applicants.
-
Navigate to the Settings > System Emails area.
-
In the System Emails table, select the Show copies arrow icon next to the email template to view available copies.
-
Select the ellipsis icon next to the copy and then Translate.
-
In the Translation modal, select the language.
Note: You can identify existing translations by the green checkmark next to the language. An X icon appears next to any languages the email copy hasn't been translated into yet.
-
Continue by entering your translated text into the Subject field, banner, email body, and Button text field (if applicable).
Note: Tokens - such as {{FIRST_NAME}} or {{ORGANIZATION}} - display in the default language. They're not automatically translated into the language selected even if you've provided translations for the rest of the email content.
Tip: To move the Insert Token toolbox, click on it and then drag and drop it in a new location on the screen.
-
Save your changes.
After the translation has been added, you can preview how it appears to applicants by previewing the email and selecting the desired language.
