As reviewer of the spanish translation, I've found one or two questions that
should allow billingual answers, because the answer was not a command, but
e.g. the function of a server. In cases like this, the ones taking the exam
are prompted to answer in the language of the test. No spanish speaker would
answer "servidor de files" if the original answer for a given question is
"file server"... the natural answer will be "servidor de archivos". Hope I
made the point clear. Bilingual answers should be allowed, when the answer
is not a command, file name or related. There are at least two such cases in
the actual exams. If not, those items should be replaced.
