Language

There are three different things that are called language here, and keeping them apart avoids most confusion.

The interface#

The language of menus, dialogs, messages and the tours. There are two: English and Bahasa Indonesia. Each is named in its own language, so someone who has landed in one they cannot read can still find their own.

Choose it in Settings, under Language, with Interface language. It applies at once, with no reload, and it is remembered on this device.

Until you choose, Rejarsume uses the first of your browser's preferred languages that it has, and English if it has none. A page is first drawn in English and switches after it loads, so a moment of English before the other language is normal.

The language of a resume#

Each resume has its own language, set in the Style tab under Language, in Document. It formats month names, writes the end of an ongoing role, and sets the language of the exported document. It does not translate anything you wrote, and it is separate from the interface: a resume in French can be written in an app set to English. See Design tokens.

The names of sections the format recognises, such as Experience, are recognised in English and in Indonesian whichever the document's language is. See The shape of the file.

These docs#

The documentation is written in both languages, at /en/docs and /id/docs. Every page has the same address in both, so the language switch in the header takes you to the same page in the other language.

Opening /docs with no language sends you to the language you chose in the app, or to the one your browser prefers, and to English if neither applies. A link someone shares to a page in one language always opens in that language and never changes your choice. Choosing a language in the docs header does change it, for the app as well.

What is not translated#

The names of the export formats, the three typefaces, and the prompts for an assistant stay in English on purpose. A resume's own text is yours and is never translated.
