How to change resume or cover letter language

Multilingual applications are now normal across EU and remote-first roles. Changing language is not only translation; it is also about preserving clarity, structure, and tone for the target market. Use this flow to avoid mixed-language or inconsistent submissions.

Change the heading language

• Open your resume in the editor.
• In the top bar, click the language chip - the flag at the left of the editor's top-bar actions. On a wide screen the language name shows next to it.
• Pick a language from the menu.
• Section headings update immediately in the live 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.

• On Your Documents, use Make a copy on the resume card so your original version is preserved.
• On the copy, 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 available in 27 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Romanian, Ukrainian, Greek, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Bengali, and Urdu. If you need a language that is not listed, contact support and we will note the request.
