# How do I change the language of TestFLE? **In short**: The four flags in the footer, present on every screen, including the sign-in screen, change the language of TestFLE: French, English, Chinese or Spanish. The choice is remembered on the device, then on the account once the student is signed in. **Who this is for**: Students and families who prefer to read TestFLE in English, Spanish or Chinese. **What you need first**: - Nothing in particular: the flags are visible on every screen. ## The steps 1. Look at the bottom of the screen: you will find four flags there. 2. On a computer, move the mouse over a flag: the name of the language appears. 3. Click the flag of your language. 4. Read the screen: it has switched to that language straight away. The four languages are, in the order of the flags: Français (France), English (United Kingdom), 中文 (China) and Español (Spain). The name of each language is always written in that language. Chinese is Simplified Chinese. ![Footer of the sign-in screen with the four flags, the English one active](https://www.testfle.com/medias/aide/en/familles-eleves/changer-la-langue-drapeaux-701.webp?v=e464356519) ![The title of the sign-in screen changes language at each click on a flag](https://www.testfle.com/medias/aide/en/familles-eleves/changer-la-langue-bascule.anim.poster.webp?v=9d176aeb98) ## Another place to change the language When a test is about to start, the welcome screen shows the same selector at the top right of the card. It changes the language in the same way, on every screen. ![Welcome screen of the test with the language selector at the top right of the card](https://www.testfle.com/medias/aide/en/familles-eleves/changer-la-langue-introduction-test-1440.webp?v=ecf73f3d9c) --- ## Understanding the language choice ### Is the choice remembered? Yes, in two ways. On the device, the choice is kept for one year in the browser: the student finds their language again at each visit. Once the student is signed in, the choice is also saved on the account, and it then follows the student from one device to another. A choice made on the sign-in screen, before signing in, therefore stays on the device only. To save it on the account, click the flag again once signed in. When the account already has a saved language, that is the one applied at sign-in. ### Which language does TestFLE choose on its own? With no choice made, TestFLE first takes the language saved on the account, then the choice made on this device, then the default language set by the school, then the browser’s language, and finally French. ### What changes, and what stays in French? Buttons, menus, messages and results change language. Dates follow the conventions of the language: in English, the month comes before the day (08/23/2026 for 23 August 2026). The test questions, however, stay in French, since TestFLE measures the level of French. The instructions shown before the test, on the other hand, follow the chosen language, including when they are read aloud. ### What about the PDF report? The PDF report has its own language, chosen when the teacher or the administration produces it. If they make no choice, it follows the language saved on the student’s account. A report that has already been produced no longer changes language. ### Is there a language setting in the profile? No. The “Profile” screen has no language choice: the flags in the footer are the only place.
