Are candidates allowed to translate the exam into the language they understand? For example, if I live in Indonesia and i cannot speak Indonesian well, but I want to use Indonesia as the sitting location for the exam.

    Candidates must follow the language options provided for each Microsoft Certification exam and are not allowed to translate exam content themselves during the exam.

    Key points:

    • Each exam has a defined set of available languages. These are listed on the Schedule Exam section of the exam details page.
    • The English version of an exam is updated first; localized versions (such as Indonesian) are released later where available.
    • If the exam is not available in a preferred language, candidates can request an additional 30 minutes to complete the exam, but cannot use external translation tools or devices during the exam.
    • Using a mobile phone or other device for any reason (including translation) during an online proctored exam will result in the exam being revoked and can lead to a ban from taking exams, because Microsoft and Pearson VUE strictly prohibit phone use during exams.

    Therefore, if taking the exam in Indonesia, select one of the officially supported exam languages (for example, English if that is more comfortable) when scheduling. Do not attempt to translate questions with a phone or other external tools during the exam.
