Job Requisition Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs) in the RequisitionDM data model do not automatically
translate to alternate languages. 
If the DFF is based on a lookup, Recruiting uses the Code field in the lookup to populate the Recruiting tables. In order for
a lookup-based DFF to be translated into an alternate language in the requisition approval notification, the RequisitionDM
data model would need to be customized to use the Meaning field from the lookup, which carries the translated values.
