Test for Auditory Comprehension of Language -3 is an American picturebasedtest developed to examine children?s auditory comprehension of language.The aim of the study was to create a translation and to examine if the test wouldcontribute to the information about a child´s language comprehension received bysimilar tests that are used today. In the present study the test items were translatedinto Swedish. The translation was evaluated with 32 children in three different agegroups at a school in central Gothenburg. A linguistic examination of thetranslation and a list of the grammatical structures that are tested were made. Theyounger participants? scores were somewhat higher than those of the Americans.There was a weak trend towards increasing level of difficulty in test items. It waspossible to create a functional translation of the TACL-3 without changing theoriginal version too much.
