No. Oregon's real Class C knowledge test is available in eight languages, but the official practice knowledge test is currently offered in English and Spanish.
Select an available language when setting up the test. Oregon DMV also permits authorized translators for in-office knowledge testing, subject to DMV rules. A paper translation dictionary may be allowed when it meets DMV requirements and staff approve it.
You cannot direct-dial a local Oregon DMV office. Use DMV Customer Assistance or the published statewide language information instead.

Oregon publishes the Class C test in eight languages. If your language is not listed, DMV does not publish a separate test version in that language. For in-office testing, authorized translators may be allowed in the testing area, so confirm the accommodation process with DMV before you go.
All eight language versions use the same Class C knowledge-test standard: 35 questions and 28 correct answers to pass. Oregon provides read-and-hear support in all eight offered languages.
Language choice does not change Oregon's testing or retake rules. Use the dedicated fee and failed-test guides for current costs and attempt limits.
For full retake rules, see Oregon failed and retake rules.

"The AI mock tests were surprisingly realistic. The explanations for road signs helped me understand the logic, not just memorize. Passed my permit test on the first try!"
