Multi-Language Support

The plugin automatically translates RecMan field values into your configured language. This includes fixed-list values like employment types, sectors, position types, and locations.

Supported Languages

• Norwegian
• English
• Swedish

Additional languages can be added on request — contact Bonsy.

What Gets Translated

Field values that come from RecMan’s fixed lists are automatically translated:

• Employment type (full-time, part-time, etc.)
• Sector
• Position type
• Branch / branch category
• Location names (city, region, country)

How It Works

The Bonsy API handles all translations. The translation system uses a fallback chain:

1. Database translation — custom translations managed by Bonsy
2. Language JSON file — standard translations for common values
3. English default — falls back to English if no translation exists
4. Original value — uses the raw RecMan value as a last resort

Configuration

Set your preferred language in the plugin’s fetch settings. This is stored on the Bonsy server and applies to all data served to your site.

Note

Translations apply to field values (like “Heltid” → “Full-time”), not to free-text content like job descriptions. Job descriptions are displayed as written in RecMan.

Why This Matters

Without the plugin, you’d need to manually map RecMan’s fixed-value IDs to human-readable labels in the correct language. The plugin handles this automatically, saving development time and ensuring consistency.
