3418746 - Recommended Links not shown in Locale language settings for New Hire - Only shown in English - Onboarding

Symptom

When a new employee logs into the SF onboarding system and their language settings are set to Spanish, the recommended links are displayed in English instead of the translated versions that are available in the onboarding program for Spanish (or any other language)

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login as candidate
  2. Check the recommended links are not translated based on candidate's locale

Cause

The locale of the recommended link task does not depend on the locale of the new hire , but the locale of the user who posted/completed the task.

Resolution

  • This will be an expected behavior if for those who posted/completed the recommended link is from en-US locale and configured this activity in en-US text. Once it is posted we cannot switch text to another language
  • Ensure before posting that text is displaying the desired language.
