Beta Program French Language

Welcome to the French Language Beta Program!

What to do

Crete and make 5-10 job ads inclusive within the upcoming week.

Nothing changes from how you normally use our platform (please see our Start Guide, if it’s the first time you’re using Develop Diverse):

1. Log in, and click Create.
2. Select Job Ad.
3. Copy and paste your job ad into the editor.
4. The platform detects it’s in French and suggests inclusive alternatives based on your settings.

Give feedback

Use the Feedback button in the pop-up if:

• You disagree with a highlight.
• You don’t understand why a term is biased.
• The suggested alternatives don’t fit.

Gendered language settings (Admins only)

To align the alternatives we offer with your preferred gendered ending, you can change the settings for ‘Gendered Language’:

1. Click on your profile icon in the upper right corner.
2. Select Account Settings.
3. Scroll to Inclusive Writing and find Gendered Language.
4. Choose your preferred gendered ending for words referring to people (read more below).
5. Save changes.

Gendered language options

You can choose from these formats:

• Double Forms: Uses both male and female versions, e.g., “salariés et salariées” (female and male employees).
• Brackets (): Lists both versions with brackets, e.g., “salarié(e)s”.
• Slash (/) Format: Adds both versions with a slash, e.g., “salarié/es or “salarié/e/s”.
• Dot (.) Format: Uses a dot, e.g., “salarié.e.s”.
• Hyphen (-) Format: Similar to the dot, e.g., “salarié-e-s”.
• Point médian (·) Format: Similar to the dot and hyphen, e.g., “salarié·e·s”.
• Capital E: Capitalizes “E” to include both genders, e.g., “salariéEs”.

Thank you for helping us improve inclusive language in French job ads!
