New in Hire | automatic translation for job descriptions in XML feeds
Ensure job descriptions are always shown in the correct language on external job boards.
Job descriptions sent through XML feeds are now automatically translated to match the language of the job’s location before being published to sourcing partners like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor.
What’s new
Job descriptions are automatically translated to match the location’s language
Translated content is sent directly to job boards with no manual updates required
Works seamlessly with existing XML feed integrations
No changes to the product experience or configuration
Why it matters
This ensures candidates see job descriptions in the correct language, improving clarity and reducing confusion.
It also helps meet regional language requirements, especially for customers hiring across multiple languages or geographies.
What to expect
This is a backend update with no changes in the UI
No action is required for most customers
Translation is applied automatically when the job description language differs from the location language
