How It Works

Automatic Script Detection

When you create or edit a resume or cover letter, the platform automatically:

  1. Detects the writing system - Analyzes the Unicode characters in your content
  2. Selects the appropriate font - Applies the correct font for proper glyph rendering
  3. Sets text direction - Applies right-to-left (RTL) formatting for Arabic and Hebrew
  4. Generates professional output - Creates PDF exports with proper typography

Per-Paragraph Intelligence

Each paragraph in your document is analyzed independently, and the correct font is applied automatically. This ensures every part of your document renders correctly with proper typography.

Where International Support Applies

Base Resume

Your uploaded or created base resume supports any language:

  • Edit in the AI Resume Editor in your native language
  • Download PDF exports with proper font rendering
  • ATS-optimized formatting works across all supported scripts

Custom Resumes

When generating job-specific resumes:

  • Write content in any supported language
  • AI suggestions work in multiple languages
  • PDF downloads render all scripts correctly

Cover Letters

Custom cover letters support:

  • Full content in any supported language
  • Professional PDF output with correct fonts and alignment

Right-to-Left (RTL) Languages

For Arabic, Hebrew, and other RTL languages, the platform automatically:

  • Reverses text alignment - Content aligns to the right margin
  • Adjusts bullet points - Bullets appear on the right side of list items
  • Maintains proper reading flow - Paragraphs flow from right to left
  • Handles bidirectional text - English words within RTL content display correctly

Tips for International Resumes

Best Practices

  • One language per resume - For best results, write your entire resume in a single language
  • English is compatible - Including English terms (company names, technical skills, certifications) within a non-English resume works well
  • Avoid mixing RTL and LTR - Do not mix right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew) with other left-to-right languages in the same document
  • Company names - Keep company names in their original language/script
  • Job titles - Consider including both original and English translations

ATS Considerations

  • Most ATS systems work best with Latin characters
  • Consider a bilingual approach: primary content in your language, key skills in English
  • Use the ATS Report tool to check parsing compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to configure anything for international language support? A: No configuration is needed. Simply write or paste content in your language, and the platform automatically detects the script and applies the correct fonts.

Q: Can the AI Editor translate my resume into other languages? A: Yes! The AI Resume Editor can translate your resume into any supported language. When translating to languages like Arabic or Hebrew, the AI automatically applies the correct fonts and right-to-left text alignment.

Q: Will my international resume work with ATS systems? A: The platform generates Unicode-compliant PDFs that modern ATS systems can parse. However, some older ATS systems may have limited support for non-Latin scripts. Use the ATS Report to check compatibility.

Q: Is right-to-left text supported in the editor? A: Yes. When you type in Arabic or Hebrew, the editor automatically switches to RTL mode for that content, and bullet points appear on the right side.

Q: What if my language isn't listed? A: Latin-based languages (Spanish, French, German, etc.) use the standard Arial font. If you need support for an additional writing system, contact support.

Q: Do custom resumes maintain formatting for all languages? A: Yes. When you generate a custom resume for a job, all international content is preserved with proper fonts and formatting.
