Practise in Your Own Language

You can now take any quiz on the site in one of thirteen languages. The question, every answer option, and the explanation you get after answering are all translated. It is free, it is on every quiz, and it takes one click to turn on.

It is worth saying plainly why we built this, because the obvious objection is a good one: the exam is in English, and that is not changing. Practising in Polish will not get you a Polish exam paper.

But reading an exam and understanding a system are two different jobs, and they are easier to do one at a time. If English is your second or third language, a question about pitot-static blockage can cost you twice: once working out what is being asked, and again working out the aerodynamics. Doing the second part in the language you think in is not a shortcut. It is how you find out whether you actually know the material, or only recognise the wording.

The English original is always one click away

This is the part that matters most, and it is why translation sits inside the quiz rather than replacing it. Every translated question keeps its English text. The language card next to the timer has an Original button that swaps the question, the options and the explanation back to English in place, and swaps them again to go back.

Use it. Read the question in your own language, answer it, then flip to the English and read it again. On exam day the wording in front of you will be the English one, and the gap between the two is exactly the thing worth practising.

What is translated

• The question and all of its answer options, on every quiz: practice quizzes, the free sample quiz, the diagnostic exam and weak-area drills
• The explanation, where a question has one — that is most of the EASA module bank, and it is the part worth reading slowly
• All 17 EASA Part-66 modules and all 7 aircraft type ratings, from the A320 family to the 737NG and the 787

The thirteen

Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.

If the language you study in is not on that list, tell us and we will look at adding it. The list was chosen from where people actually sit down and use the site, and it is not fixed.

Two honest caveats

It is machine translation. It is good, and it is checked for the failure modes that matter — an answer option must not drift into meaning the same thing as another one, numbers and units must survive intact — but it is not a human technical translator, and it is not the wording of the examination. Treat it as a study aid, and use the Original button to check yourself.

Technical designations deliberately stay in English. A320, LEAP-1A, Trent 700, Part-145, ATA 27, CS-25, and every unit and abbreviation are left exactly as written. Translating them would be actively unhelpful: those are the strings on the aircraft, in the manual, and on the exam paper.

Turning it on

Two places, and they are the same setting:

• In any quiz, use the small language card beside the question counter and timer. Pick a language and the question in front of you switches immediately — you can do this mid-quiz, and your answers and timer are unaffected.
• In Settings, under Quiz language, which is where to set it once and forget about it.

The first time a question is shown in a new language it takes a moment to translate, and you may briefly see the explanation loading while you read the question. After that it is stored, so the same question is instant for you and for everybody else studying in that language. Working through a module gets quicker as you go.

Set it to English at any time and everything goes back exactly as it was.
