Allow Candidates to Translate Questions (Assessment Configuration)

Testlify allows you to enable question translation at the assessment level. When enabled, candidates can translate supported questions and answer options into their preferred language while taking an assessment.

This feature can help make assessments more accessible and easier to understand for candidates who are more comfortable reading questions in a different language.

Follow the steps below to enable question translation for an assessment.

Step 1: Open Your Assessment

Go to Assessments from your Testlify dashboard and open the assessment for which you want to enable question translation.

Step 2: Edit the Assessment

Once you have opened the assessment, click Edit.

Step 3: Navigate to Assessment Settings

From the assessment editing page, click Settings.

Step 4: Open Assessment Configuration

Under Settings, click on the Assessment Configuration tab.

Step 5: Enable Question Translation for Candidates

Let's See How It Works for Candidates

Now that question translation has been enabled and the changes have been saved, let's preview the assessment to see how candidates can use this feature.

Step 1: Let's Preview It

Once the changes are saved, click Preview.

The assessment preview will open in a new tab, allowing you to view the assessment from the candidate's perspective.

Step 2: Translate Questions During the Assessment

After filling in all the required details and starting the assessment, the candidate will see the questions.

Candidates can translate the questions by selecting their desired language using the available language selection option.

Once the desired language is selected, the assessment instructions and navigation options will also be displayed in the selected language.

Candidates can now view the questions in their chosen language.

Note: Question translation is available only when the Allow candidates to translate questions setting has been enabled for the assessment.

Important Note

The Allow candidates to translate questions setting is disabled by default. You need to enable it individually for each assessment where you want candidates to have access to question translation.

Translations are generated in real time, and translation quality may vary depending on the language and content being translated.
