How to take the Pipplet test in non-latin alphabet languages?

The Pipplet test requires writing in a given language. That's why it is imperative that you have a keyboard allowing you to input in the language of the test.

For most of the languages, you can either equip yourself with a keyboard or get a sticker set. These stickers are easily found on the Internet for 3 or 4€.

For all languages on Google Chrome

You can install Google Input Tools. It’s an extension for your browser that will allow you to enter text in non-latin languages.

Depending on the language, several options are available:

Transliteration (icon depicting a letter from the language)
Just enter words as they are pronounced and the tool will ask you to choose from a list of corresponding words.

Virtual Keyboard (keyboard icon)
Your keyboard will correspond to the language in question keyboard. We recommend this option if you’re already familiar with the language keyboard and can type without looking at your physical keyboard.

Handwriting (pencil icon)
You can draw symbols on your touchpad, and the system will transform it into the written characters. This option is not recommended, as it’s very time-consuming.

Activate it and you will be ready to take the Pipplet test!
