Frank,
Have you tried it in Chrome, the Google translation seems to work there.

It isn't the page you are displaying, click on the Start Challenge button then the Questions are in Dutch, the actual web pages display in English, but the questions aren't displayed in a web page but in a pop-up style isolated from the page.

Hope that helps. :)

No luck with Firefox -- even if I go to their front page, which seems to be the only place I can find to select language (tiny flag near the top-right), if I select English then everything's fine till I click on "Start now", which gives me only Dutch in the popups.

Does it work better if you just sit and wait for it to finish the countdown and autostart?

Hi bob3160,

You might have completed the test now and were the results helpful?

Sorry Damien,
I was to busy figuring out how to get this to work in English
and post those results that I never actually took the test.  ;D

But the answer to question  is C :)

Well there is a minimal score of 80% required  ;D. Users with lower scores have to redo the test until they get that 80% minimal  8). Knowing what to click and what not to click is of vital importance to your security on the Internet  :).
