Select your prep language
The language I'll use to explain concepts and answer your questions. The exam itself isn't translated — only the conversation around it.
When this screen appears
Right after you pick a certification. It's a single screen with one decision.
If your certification only supports English, I skip this screen automatically. You'll see a brief "Setting up your experience..." spinner and land on the diagnostic.
Available languages
- English (
en) - French (
fr) - Arabic (
ar) - Spanish (
es) - Portuguese (
pt)
Not every certification supports every language. The picker only shows the ones available for the cert you chose.
What stays in English
Technical acronyms always stay in English, regardless of your prep language:
- Cloud: IAM, VPC, S3, EC2, RDS, IAM, Lambda
- Security: OAuth, JWT, MFA, OWASP, RBAC
- Project Management: RACI, Scrum Master, Kanban, MoSCoW, RAID
- Networking: TCP, UDP, BGP, OSPF, DNS
I won't translate them because the exam doesn't. You need to recognize "IAM" on exam day, not "gestion des identités et des accès".
The conversational layer around them is in your chosen language: my explanations, my questions, my recovery messages, my milestone summaries.
When the picker is skipped entirely
For language certifications themselves — IELTS, TOEFL, DELE, and others — I skip the prep-language picker. I run those certs in the language being tested. An IELTS prep session is in English. A DELE C1 prep session is in Spanish.
Changing your prep language later
Settings → Study Preferences → Prep language.
You can switch any time. The change applies immediately to new sessions; previous sessions stay archived in their original language.
If you study in two languages routinely (work in English, study in your native tongue), pick the language you'll think in under exam stress. That's usually the one that helps you most.
