I've allowed it. A dictionary isn't likely to give anyone an
unfair advantage on my tests. English speaking students would be welcome
to bring in dictionaries too if they were so inclined. It wouldn't help
them conceptually, either.
If I gave multiple choice questions that required demonstrating memory
for terms, I might feel differently.

A Korean student asked permission to use a Korean-English dictionary while
taking a test. I said OK.
How do you feel about international students using translation
dictionaries in class?
