| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Job language set         | Uses job language                               |
| Job language cleared     | Falls back to company default                   |
| No company default       | Falls back to English                           |
| Language changed mid-job | New scores use new language, existing unchanged |

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I change language for existing jobs?">
    Yes. New outputs use the new language. Existing scores stay in their original language.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do settings affect candidate processing?">
    No. Settings control output language only. Nova processes resumes in any language regardless.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can candidates see assessments in their own language?">
    No. Output language controls internal assessments visible to your hiring team, not candidate-facing content.
