This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The client is unable to see job postings when selecting the German language switcher on their website, which has English as the default language. They want job postings to be visible only in German and do not plan to translate the Career details page.

Solution:

We recommend creating the job posts only in German and setting up a redirection from the English job posts page to the German job posts page. Here are the steps to create job posts in German:

- Go to Job Manager >> Job Listings.
- Use the dashboard language switcher in the top header to switch to German.
- Create the job posts in German.
