Surpass supports many different test driver languages. When creating or scheduling a test, you can change the default language of the test driver. This affects the navigation buttons and any warning messages that might appear to candidates during the test.

IMPORTANT: Changing the test driver delivery language does not automatically translate item content. Item content must be changed manually for different languages.

This article details the available test driver languages in Surpass and explains how to change the delivery language for candidates.
