How to change resume or cover letter language
Switch language settings while keeping your structure and formatting consistent.
Jobapply.io supports multiple section heading languages. This means section labels like 'Work Experience', 'Education', and 'Skills' can be displayed in different languages while your content stays as you wrote it.
Change the heading language
- Open your resume and go to Settings or Document Settings.
- Find the Heading Language option.
- Select the language you want from the dropdown.
- Section titles update immediately in the preview.
Translating your actual content
Changing the heading language only changes the section labels — it does not translate the text you have written. If you need a fully translated version, you will need to write the content in the target language yourself.
- Duplicate the resume first so your original version is preserved.
- On the duplicate, change both the heading language and rewrite your content in the target language.
- Export as PDF — this keeps the layout intact regardless of character set.
Supported languages
Section headings are currently supported in English, German, French, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Italian, and Czech. If you need a language not listed, contact support and we will note the request.
