## How It Works
### Automatic Script Detection
When you create or edit a resume or cover letter, the platform automatically:
1. **Detects the writing system** - Analyzes the Unicode characters in your content
2. **Selects the appropriate font** - Applies the correct font for proper glyph rendering
3. **Sets text direction** - Applies right-to-left (RTL) formatting for Arabic and Hebrew
4. **Generates professional output** - Creates PDF exports with proper typography
### Per-Paragraph Intelligence
Each paragraph in your document is analyzed independently, and the correct font is applied automatically. This ensures every part of your document renders correctly with proper typography.
## Where International Support Applies
### Base Resume
Your uploaded or created base resume supports any language:

### Cover Letters

## Right-to-Left (RTL) Languages
For Arabic, Hebrew, and other RTL languages, the platform automatically:
- **Reverses text alignment** - Content aligns to the right margin
- **Adjusts bullet points** - Bullets appear on the right side of list items
- **Maintains proper reading flow** - Paragraphs flow from right to left
- **Handles bidirectional text** - English words within RTL content display correctly
## Tips for International Resumes
### Best Practices
- **One language per resume** - For best results, write your entire resume in a single language
- **English is compatible** - Including English terms (company names, technical skills, certifications) within a non-English resume works well
- **Avoid mixing RTL and LTR** - Do not mix right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew) with other left-to-right languages in the same document
- **Company names** - Keep company names in their original language/script
- **Job titles** - Consider including both original and English translations
### ATS Considerations
- Most ATS systems work best with Latin characters
- Consider a bilingual approach: primary content in your language, key skills in English
- Use the ATS Report tool to check parsing compatibility
