Portuguese Brazil language support overview

Updated 6 months ago

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 Portuguese Brazil to better serve talent in Brazil and Portuguese-speaking markets worldwide.

The recruiter dashboard, job settings, and analytics are currently available in English only.

Candidate-facing Portuguese Brazil localization

When you enable Portuguese Brazil for a job, the entire candidate journey is automatically translated. This includes the following elements:

  • Application Forms: Labels and placeholders (e.g., "Nome," "Endereço de email").

  • 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 Portuguese Brazil for a job

You can set the language preference on a per-job basis. This is ideal for companies hiring for specific roles in Brazil and Portuguese-speaking regions.

  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 Português (Brasil) (PT-BR) from the list.

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

To localize your entire careers page, go to Profile > Careers Page > Customize and update the language setting there.

Managing bilingual workflows

Many recruiters prefer a bilingual approach (English and Portuguese Brazil) 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 / Conte-nos sobre você").

  • Email Templates: Candidate notifications (invites and reminders) default to English. You can manually update these templates in your job settings to include Portuguese Brazil 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 LGPD compliance for Brazilian candidates

Localization in Hirevire is built with data protection in mind. When Portuguese Brazil 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.

Brazilian candidates are protected under LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados), Brazil's comprehensive data protection law. Hirevire's security practices align with international data protection standards to support compliance with LGPD requirements for organizations hiring in Brazil.

AI transcripts for Portuguese Brazil interviews are supported but may require you to set the "Transcription Language" to Portuguese Brazil within the job's AI settings to ensure the highest accuracy. For more details, see AI Credit Consumption for Candidate Responses.
