Languages and countries
How Jobbaloo chooses a document language, hides a posting that asks for a language you do not work in, and applies your rules per client country.
Language is a setting on your profile and a fact read from the posting. Jobbaloo does not machine-translate a letter.
What a search shows#
A posting that asks for a language outside your working languages is not shown. Check those languages on the profile when a search looks empty. See Troubleshooting.
A posting only written in Dutch that never asks for Dutch is kept and tagged "posting in Dutch".
Which language the documents use#
| Posting | Documents |
|---|---|
| German | A German CV and letter, built from your own German lines |
| Dutch | English documents, plus one controlled line saying that you write in English |
You ask tailor draft for lang | en, de or nl. Ask for the letter in that language first |
Dutch is written only for a profile that lists Dutch above basic. Lines you have not translated stay in the base language, and the page says how many are still missing. The application e-mail is drafted in the CV's language.
Rules per country#
A rule says what goes on the CV for a client in a country. Set only what is true for you. The parts are on Master profile:
- Location: the city you list, for example a Dutch city for Dutch clients and a German city for German ones.
- Registration: how you describe your status, for example "ZZP, KvK-registered" in the Netherlands or "Freelancer" in Germany.
- Document language: German postings get German documents from your German lines; Dutch postings get English documents.
Dates on the page#
Dates follow the document language. English uses "Jan – Mar 2025". German uses "01/2025 – 03/2025". The spaces in a range do not break across lines. See Designs and exports.
