Concept: Translated Job Requisitions
You can translate job requisitions into multiple languages for the same position, enabling
better support for global recruiting.
Base Language for Job Requisitions
The base language is the preferred language of the person who creates the job requisition.
Example: Jacqueline, whose preferred language is French, creates a job profile. The base
language of the job profile is French. Elizabeth, whose preferred language is
English, creates a job requisition using the French job profile. The base language
of the job requisition is English.
Viewing Translated Job Requisitions
Workday automatically displays the job requisition in your preferred language, if translations
are available.
Workday displays translated job postings on external career sites for the target language.
Editing Job Requisitions
If you edit a job requisition, and translations exist for your preferred language, Workday
saves the changes to the translations. If translations don't exist, Workday saves
the changes to the base language.
Example: Paul, whose preferred language is French, edits a job requisition that has English as
its base language. Workday saves these edits to the French translation. The English
job requisition will remain unchanged.
Elizabeth, whose preferred language is English, can update the English job
requisition.
