# Translations

1 min read

A layout can have several languages, so one layout makes proposals in each of them. A candidate's proposal uses the candidate's language.

## [Adding languages](#adding-languages)

Below the tree in the layout editor, add a language to the layout. The first language is the default. Choose **Make default language** on another language to change it, or **Remove** to remove one.

## [Translating the layout](#translating-the-layout)

Select a language to edit the layout's fixed texts in that language, such as headings and labels. Texts you haven't translated show in the default language.

**Auto-translate** translates the fixed texts from the default language for you. Check the result, especially short labels.

Translate the options of multiple-choice variables in the **Data** tab, per language.

## [Candidate content](#candidate-content)

Translations cover the layout's fixed texts. The candidate's content is written by the AI in the candidate's language. To translate a candidate's content, ask the AI, such as "Translate the CV to German". See [Prompt examples](https://www.cv-transformer.com/en/docs/candidates/prompt-examples).

When **Detect candidate language from CV** is on under **Settings** → **Candidates**, a new candidate's language follows the language of their CV, if the layout has that language.
