We always update the English language version of the exam first. Some exams are localized into other languages, and those are updated approximately eight weeks
after the English version is updated. While Microsoft makes every effort to update localized versions as noted, there may be times when the localized versions of an
exam are not updated on this schedule. Other available languages are listed in the Schedule Exam section of the Exam Details webpage. If the exam isn't available in
your preferred language, you can request an additional 30 minutes to complete the exam.
