Deception on an Exam

Question

I am currently completing studies for a degree, and there are several exams in English that I must pass. In preparation for the exams, booklets need to be translated, and on the exam questions are asked about the material in them. May I get help from a friend in translating the booklets? And may I use an online translator that translates the entire text, even though it was stated that such a translator may not be used?

Answer

Hello and blessings 

It is forbidden. 

This is geneivat da'at.
