  • When taking the exam online, students should be warned NOT to translate the exam from English into any other language. Google Translate and other programs are becoming increasingly good at providing translations from Latin, and the NLE would not want to disqualify any student from participating in the exam. The NLE does receive from Lingco a list of exams which have been translated and into which language they were changed. Take a look at this explanation of "Tracked Events" for online test-takers.
