Translate your profile and CV to another language

Translate your profile and CV using automatic or manual translation

Written by Rania Haddad

Create and manage multiple language versions of your profile and CVs, manually or with automatic translation 🌍🤖

In Cinode, you can create multiple language versions of your profile and CVs to adapt your content for different markets, customers, or roles. Each language version is managed separately and must be reviewed before it is used or shared.

💡 The easiest and fastest way to create a CV in another language is to first translate your profile using the automatic translation feature. This translates your entire profile at once and makes it much easier to create a new CV in the desired language.


Before you start

It is important to understand how translations work in Cinode:

  • Language versions are managed separately.

  • Updating content in one language does not update the other languages.

  • All translations, including automatically generated ones, should be reviewed before use.

  • CVs are handled independently from the profile and must be translated separately.


Translate your profile 🌍

Cinode supports automatic translation when you add a new profile language, using Google Cloud Translation. This helps you get started faster while still giving you full control over the final content.

Add a new profile language

Watch this video to see how to easily translate your profile:

When you add a new language to your profile, you can choose to create it empty or generate an automatic translation based on an existing language - either for the whole profile at once, or section by section for more control.

  1. Go to Home → Profile, or navigate to the profile of the person whose profile you want to translate.

  2. Click the plus (+) icon next to the current language flag.

  3. Select the language you want to add.

  4. (Optional) Enable Auto-translate the profile.

  5. Choose the source language for the translation.

  6. Click OK.

If auto-translation is enabled, Cinode generates a translated version of your profile based on the selected source language.

If you do not see this option, please contact support@cinode.com or your system owner.

About automatic translation

  • Automatic translation uses Google Cloud Translation.

  • Profile data is sent to Google to perform the translation.

  • The generated content is a starting point and may require adjustments.

  • You are responsible for reviewing and approving all translated content before using it.

Translate and edit your profile content ✏️

You can also translate your profile one section at a time, using AI-generated translation or by editing the text manually.

After adding a new language, you can review and update each section of the profile:

  1. Switch to the language you want to work in.

  2. Open a section by clicking the pen icon.

  3. Edit the text manually, or use AI assistance to:

    • Translate text

    • Improve wording and clarity

    • Adjust tone or length

Always review AI-generated text before saving.

Translate your skills 💡

Skills are translated separately from the rest of your profile. See the guide below:


Translate your CV 📄

It is not possible to translate an existing CV directly into another language. To translate your CV, you first need to translate your profile and then create a new CV in the desired language.

If you add or edit projects in your profile after creating a CV, those changes will not automatically update existing CVs. To make sure your CV reflects the latest information, you have two options:

  1. Manually update the existing CV: open the existing CV in Cinode and add or update the projects manually to include the latest information.

  2. Create a new CV: generate a new CV to automatically include the latest updates from your profile.

Create a new CV in another language

  1. Go to your Profile.

  2. Click the plus icon next to your existing profile language/flag.

  3. Select the language you want to translate to, and choose which language you want to translate from.

  4. Create a new CV in the desired language.

⚠️ Your organisation must have a CV template available in that language.
⚠️ Existing CVs cannot be translated directly into another language.

Alternative: translate directly in the CV

We recommend translating your profile first, as it is easier and faster 😊. Alternatively, if you have made significant updates to your profile, consider creating a new CV so all changes are accurately reflected.

You can also translate content directly while creating a CV. However, each section needs to be translated separately.

  1. Click the pen icon in a section.

  2. Select AI Features.

  3. Click Translate.

The translated content is automatically saved to your second or third profile language.

⚠️ Your organisation must also have a CV template available in that language.

Below is an example of how section translation looks in the CV:


Why does content show in one language but not another?

If something appears in your English CV but is missing from your Swedish CV (or the other way round), this is expected. Each language version is managed separately, so content is only ever added to the language you were working in.

This applies to every part of your profile and CV, including:

  • Presentation

  • Skills

  • Individual assignments and projects

  • Courses and certifications

  • Any other section

To make the missing content appear in the other language:

  1. Translate the item in your profile - either by adding or editing it in that profile language, or by translating the section while editing the CV.

  2. Update or recreate the CV in that language so it pulls in the latest translated content.

Remember: your organisation must have a CV template available in that language, and existing CVs are never translated automatically when you change the profile.


Missing translations ⚠️

If you switch to a language where some content has not yet been translated, a warning is shown. This indicates that the selected language version is incomplete and should be reviewed before use.


Remove a translation 🗑️

To remove a profile language or delete a CV language version:

  1. Click the three dots menu.

  2. Select Remove translation or Delete CV.

🚨 Important:
Removing a profile translation permanently deletes all content in that language.


Good to know 💡

  1. Translations do not sync automatically between languages.

  2. Automatic translation helps you get started faster, but manual review is always required.

  3. Regularly review all language versions to ensure accuracy and consistency across profiles and CVs.
