The seven languages added are Hindi, Persian, Russian, Chinese, Bangla, Tamil, and Malayalam. The test material is run in a voice-over translation accompanying the text written in the language of the examinee.
This enables the person sitting the exam to choose their mother tongue or the language that they feel they can most comfortably express themselves with. This move cannot have come at a better time when the RTA has recognized the growing number of nationalities as well as urbanization witnessed by the Emirate of Dubai.
