Languages (ES / EN / DE)
Written By Talenkai

Talenkai separates UI language from contact / content language. Getting both right avoids mismatched emails and bad match gates.
UI language (you)
Set your preferred interface language in Profile / account to Spanish, English, or German. Menus, buttons, and help labels follow that choice. Each user can work in their own UI language inside the same company.
Contact languages (candidates & jobs)
Languages on jobs and candidates use normalized codes (ES, EN, DE, …). Matching uses them as criteria/gates. If a job requires German and the candidate profile has no DE, scores suffer — even if you personally use the English UI.
Outbound email language
Drafts and templates resolve in ES / EN / DE. The system picks a language from the match/contact context when possible. Customize all three tabs under Settings → Email → Templates so every contact language has a proper subject and body.
Public jobs
The public jobs portal can present roles in multiple languages for candidates. Keep published texts consistent with the languages you actually staff.
Practical rule
UI = how you work.
Profile languages = how matching and templates behave.
Never assume they are the same.
