For accounts with several recruitment languages

If you have activated several recruitment languages in your account, you must also create a layout for each language and then store this accordingly in the e-mail and letter templates.

Note on placeholders for multiple languages

Certain placeholders are language-specific and can therefore only be used in the corresponding language.

For example, the salutation. "B_ANREDE" is always German "Herr / Frau", for other languages other placeholders must be used. For example, "B_ANREDE_GB_FR" in French is "Madame / Monsieur". Many placeholders such as B_VORNAME remain the same in all languages.

You can find an overview of all placeholders here.
