Language Barrier… or Language Aid? The 13! languages supported by PMI’s Language Aids

 UPDATE – Turkish added!

PMI has added a 13th Language that they support for the PMP test: Turkish!

Below is my original post about the Language Aids PMI supports for their certification exams.

A little-known feature PMI provides for its PMP, CAPM and other exams is called “Language Aids.”  The tests are only given in English, BUT… by requesting a language aid in one of the 12 supported languages below, you can instantly get a translation on the test of any question.

This can give you a great advantage if you encounter an unknown vocabulary word.  Also very helpful for the “situational” and “ethics” questions, where a nuance can make the difference between wrong and right.

The 12 languages PMI currently supports (as “language aids”) 

1. Arabic
2. Brazilian Portuguese
3. Chinese (Simplified)
4. Chinese (Traditional)
5. French
6. German
7. Hebrew
8. Italian
9. Japanese
10. Korean
11. Russian
12. Spanish
13. Turkish (NEW!)

NOTE – It’s free to request any 1 of the above 13 Language Aids, but you must request this feature IN ADVANCE (when you register for your test)
