WHAT YOU GET

Every translation checked before it goes live.

Each translated question passes a separate accuracy check before candidates see it. Questions that do not pass are held back, which is why availability can differ by test and language.

Software names, menus, formulas and code stay in English, as they appear in the tools themselves. Typing tests use English texts. To assess skill in a language itself, use a language proficiency test.

CHOOSING AND USING YOUR ASSESSMENT

Testing candidates in their own language

Why the test language matters, how to choose it, and how to compare results.

Why test in the candidate’s own language?

If the job does not depend on English, an English-only test can end up measuring reading in a second language as much as the skill you care about. Testing in the language the person will work in gives you a clearer view of the skill itself.

Choosing the right language

Use the language the job is done in. For a role in Madrid that works in Spanish, allow Spanish. For an international role that works in English, English may be the right choice, even for candidates whose first language is different.

Comparing candidates across languages

Every result shows the language the candidate used. Where you can, compare candidates who took the same test in the same language, and treat small differences between languages with care.

BEFORE YOU START

Your questions, answered.

Explore the sample report concept or see current candidate pricing.

Which languages are available?

English, plus the languages listed on this page. Most tests are available in all of them, and a few in fewer. You see what is available for each test when you build your assessment.

Can candidates in one assessment use different languages?

Yes. Allow more than one language for the assessment, and each candidate chooses theirs at the start. Their result shows which language they used.

Does a translated test measure the same thing?

Each translation aims to keep the meaning and difficulty of the original question. Where you can, compare candidates who took the test in the same language.

Is this the same as a language test?

No. Testing in a candidate’s own language stops language getting in the way when you are measuring something else, such as reasoning. To check how well someone reads or writes a language, use our language proficiency tests.
