Chinese Traditional language support overview

Hirevire allows you to provide a localized experience for your candidates. While the recruiter admin panel remains in English, you can fully translate the candidate-facing application process into Chinese Traditional to better serve Chinese-speaking candidates in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and overseas Chinese communities.

Candidate-facing Chinese Traditional localization

When you enable Chinese Traditional (繁體中文) for a job, the entire candidate journey is automatically translated. This includes the following elements:

• Application Forms: Labels and placeholders (e.g., "姓名," "電子郵件").

• Interview Controls: Buttons for recording, stopping, and replaying video/audio responses.

• Instructions & Modals: Camera and microphone permission prompts and setup instructions.

• System Messages: Error validations and submission confirmation screens.

How to enable Chinese Traditional for a job

You can set the language preference on a per-job basis. This is ideal for companies hiring for specific roles in Traditional Chinese-speaking regions or targeting Traditional Chinese-speaking talent globally.

1. Navigate to the Jobs tab in your dashboard.

2. Click Edit on an existing job or select Add Job.

3. Scroll down to the Language dropdown menu.

4. Select Chinese Traditional (繁體中文) from the list.

5. Click Save to apply the changes to the candidate application page.

Managing bilingual workflows

Many recruiters prefer a bilingual approach (English and Chinese Traditional) to accommodate a wider pool of candidates. Since the system does not auto-translate your custom text, follow these best practices:

• Manual Question Translation: Write your screening questions in both languages (e.g., "Tell us about yourself / 請簡單介紹一下自己").

• Email Templates: Candidate notifications (invites and reminders) default to English. You can manually update these templates in your job settings to include Chinese Traditional translations.

• Candidate Language Picker: If a candidate prefers a different language, they can manually toggle between available options using the language picker located in the footer of the application page.

Privacy and data protection for Traditional Chinese-speaking candidates

Localization in Hirevire is built with global data protection standards in mind. When Chinese Traditional is enabled, candidate-facing legal links—such as the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use—remain accessible in the footer. All candidate data, including video responses and AI-generated transcripts, is protected with bank-level encryption regardless of the interface language.
