Building the Career Site

Localizing Career Site Builder Pages and Settings

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to localize Career Site Builder pages and settings.

Page Localization

The following instructions guide you through the localization of each page type.

Home Pages Localization

To localize home pages, you may take advantage of the CSB function to quickly duplicate pages. You will be able to duplicate the home page in the default language and create it under the new locale. This will copy the design and the structure of components on the new locale’s home page; however, you will need to provide the translated text for each component as necessary.

On the Home Page, the Duplicate Page button is highlighted.

Content Pages Localization

To localize content pages, you can use the duplicate page functionality.

Under the Pages→Content tab, select the Main Brand and the content page which you want to duplicate.

Use the duplicate page functionality to localize content pages.

Once you have duplicated the page, enter the title and select the desired locale and brand as well as the translations.

Landing Pages Localization

To localize content pages, you can use the duplicate page functionality.

Under the Pages→Landing tab, edit the page which you want to duplicate and choose the gear button and select Duplicate Page.

To edit the page which you want to duplicate, choose the gear button and select Duplicate Page.
  • Enter a name and select the desired locale and brand.
  • Enter the translations.

Localize Category Pages

These instructions duplicate the English (default language) components, but the rule must be recreated, and of course, any text must be translated.

To localize category pages, proceed as follows:

Steps

  1. Under the Pages→Category tab, click Add.

  2. Name the new category page in the desired language.

  3. On the Details page, make the new page Active and Save.

  4. On the main Category Pages listing, select to edit the English category page.

  5. Choose the gear icon at the top of the page and select Duplicate Page. Confirm. Now the English components are duplicated on the translated page.

  6. Enter the translations.

  7. From the Rule Editor page, recreate the rule. The values need to be translated on the job requisition. For example, "Rojos" for the brand field.

    On the Category Pages, choose to Job List tab. It displays the (es_ES) Espanol (Espana) ? Red / Empleaos rojor label at the top of the page. At the bottom, the field Brand and the value Rojos are highlighted.

    Note

    For category pages based on brand, if all locales display in the results, in addition to creating the rule based on brand (such as "Brand=bestrun"), also add a rule for language (such as "Locale=en_us").

Create a Spanish Language Home Page

This video shows how to create a Spanish language home page.

Business Example

In this exercise, duplicate the Default Brand home page and enter placeholder text in Spanish.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Pages→Home and notice that all available locales are displayed. If they are not, refresh the browser window containing Career Site Builder.

  2. Navigate to en_US→Default Brand→Home.

  3. Select the gear icon at the top of the page and select Duplicate Page to create a duplicate of the base locale homepage.

  4. Select the Locale and Brand you wish to copy to, for example, es_ES and Default Brand.

  5. Select Save.

  6. Navigate to the Spanish Default Brand home page that you have just created and confirm that all components were copied.

  7. Save Draft and preview. Notice which text was localized, and which must be updated manually.

  8. For practice, enter translations for the Spanish Subscribe Form.

    1. Return to Pages→Home→es_ES→Default Brand→Home.

    2. Choose the Subscribe Form to open it.

    3. For both the Header Text and Body Text, enter Español.

    4. Publish and preview.

      During an implementation, you would enter the translations for each of the components for each page in the same way.

    5. From the page preview, click the Language (Idoma) dropdown and switch to English.

Localization of the Header and Footer

You create headers and footers for each locale. (These elements cannot be duplicated.) In a standard statement of work, the logos and links are the same, but updated for the local language.

Navigate to Appearance→Styles→Headers (select the locale and brand) and then select Menu.

The leading practice is to have the same header and footer links in the same order, with the same action for all locales. This is a web standard and helps with testing and future troubleshooting.

On the Global Styles: Header Editor menu, create headers for each locale.

Enablement of the Locale Selector in the Header

To enable the Locale Selector in the header, proceed as follows:

  1. Navigate to Appearance→Styles→Headers (select the locale and brand) and then select Details.
  2. For Use Locale Selector, select Yes.
On the Details tab, turn the Use Locale Selector toggle on.

System Text Localization

The Tools→Translations menu allows you to replace default (system) text on the CSB site for any enabled locale.

Select the desired locales from the Locale Filter dropdown at the top.

To edit the provided translation, select the text you would like to change, and then enter the new text in the text box that appears.

Remember that custom translations entered on this page must be exported from the Stage site and imported to Production separately from the site import and export.

Use the Tools: Translations menu, to replace default (system) text on the CSB site for any enabled locale. The Export and Import buttons on the right-hand side are highlighted.

Localize the Job Alert Email Template

To localize the Job Alert Email Template, proceed as follows:

Steps

  1. In Career Site Builder, navigate to Layouts→Job Alerts Email Template.

  2. Select the desired language.

  3. Enter any changes that your customer requires.

  4. Select Preview and take a screen capture for your customer’s review.

    On the Job Alert Email Template page, the es_ES locale is highlighted.

    If your customer would like to ensure that the only jobs that the user receives are from their selected locale, you must note this in the CSB→Settings→Site Configuration→Site Information→Use Locale for Job Alerts.

    When checked, only jobs in the user's selected locale will be sent in job alert emails. For example, if the user chooses their locale as es_ES, only jobs matching that locale will be sent to the user via agent email.

Optional: Google Job Map for Other Locales

When adding a Google Job Map, you have the option of filtering job searches by locale. Some customers present job maps by locale, so a different map is displayed when the candidate selects the language.

Display different job maps based on the language that the candidate selected.

For this use case, the map component is added to the home page for each locale and updated to represent the various regions of the world.

To allow job searches performed on the Google Job map be filtered by locale, on the Details page, turn the Search Filtered by Locale toggle on and set the Region Code to US.
The Job Map Can be Customized for the Home Page for each Locale.

Using this configuration option, when the candidate selects a different language from the header, the appropriate page – and map – display.

Optional: Region Code on the Google Job Map

Google Maps applies a default bias for application behavior towards the United States. If you want to change how the map is presented, change the Region Code.

Help Text From the Google Job Map Component, disclosing the default bias.

Optional: Labels Updating on the Create an Account Page

To change labels on the Create an Account page, consider the following:

  • Sometimes customers wish to change the text on the Create an Account page.
  • Create an Account is the only page accessed from Career Site Builder sites that requires Manage Languages to change the text.
  • Note that you cannot add or remove or reorder fields on this page, but you can change the labels.
  • See the Localization slides in the Recruiting Learning Room for instructions.
Change Labels on the Create an Account Page.

Roles in CSB to Maintain the Content for New Locales

Once you have configured the necessary localization requirements, it is critical to provide permissions for administrators who will be responsible to maintain localizations to the career site builder pages. Customers commonly have a user or team who maintains the pages on the career site. CSB-specific roles are created from Career Site Builder→Users→Roles.

After creating the role, assign it to Admin Users. Work with your customer on their specific needs.

Sample permissions for the Update Pages Role for Spanish-speaking admins are highlighted.

Some sample permissions for the Update Pages Role for Spanish-speaking admins are shown in the figure above.

Summary

  • Localization of pages (Home, Content, Landing, and Category) in Career Site Builder (CSB) is achieved by duplicating the default language page, assigning the new locale, and entering translations for all text and rules.
  • Headers, footers, and system text require manual localization steps; headers and footers must be recreated for each locale, and system text can be customized via the Translations menu, with exports/imports handled separately from site content.
  • Proper permissions must be set up for administrators to maintain localized pages, and additional configuration (like Google Job Map by locale and Create an Account page labels) may be required for a complete localized candidate experience.
