Aliases

YAMLResume provides default titles for all resume sections except location and profiles, which are automatically translated based on the selected locale language. However, you may want to customize these titles to better suit your profile or industry. The section aliases feature allows you to override the default section titles with your own custom names.

For example, you might prefer "Professional Experience" instead of "Work" for work section, or "Technical Proficiencies" instead of "Skills" for skills section.

How to Use

You can define section aliases within the layout configuration of your resume.yml file. Add a sections object to your layout, and inside it, an aliases map.

The keys in the aliases map are the standard section IDs, and the values are the custom titles you want to use.

Example

Here's how you can change the titles for the work, education, and skills sections:

---
content:
  # ...

layout:
  sections:
    aliases:
      work: Professional Experience
      education: Academic Background
      skills: Technical Skills

When you build your resume with this configuration, the generated PDF will use "Professional Experience", "Academic Background", and "Technical Skills" as the titles for these sections, overriding the default or locale-specific names.

If an alias is not provided for a section, YAMLResume will fall back to the default title for the configured locale.
