Please follow the instructions below. If you have any technical questions, please go to Step 5 below.

You may need to be able to type in both English and the language in which you are being tested. If you need to add a language to your computer, go to this tutorial: https://www.daskeyboard.com/blog/how-to-change-keyboard-language/

If you need to learn the keyboard shortcut to quickly switch languages, go to this tutorial: https://www.webnots.com/keyboard-shortcut-to-switch-language-in-mac-and-windows-10/
