Translate the candidate's text

Field and section names are labels. The text inside them, like the summary or job descriptions, comes from the resume. To change it, open the profile, click Edit and change the text. For long text, Ask AI can translate it, for example with the prompt "Translate into German". See Use Ask AI to rewrite, shorten or translate text.
