Yes, Connecticut DMV offers the learner's permit knowledge test in more than 30 languages. The test is available in over 30 languages, divided into computerized and paper formats.
Connecticut offers the knowledge test in computerized languages plus additional hard-copy languages.
| Option | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Computerized languages | Select an available language on the DMV testing system. |
| Additional hard-copy languages | DMV provides written hard-copy tests in additional listed languages. |
| Paper dictionary | A non-electronic foreign-language dictionary may be used when the test is not offered in the applicant's desired language, subject to DMV rules. |
| Hearing or disability assistance | Use Connecticut DMV's accommodation process; detailed eligibility and requests belong on the accessibility page. |
For the current language list, check Connecticut DMV before your appointment because language availability can change.
Connecticut DMV currently separates the available languages into digital and additional written hard-copy options.
| Format | Languages |
|---|---|
| Digital | Albanian, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, English, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese |
| Additional hard-copy written tests | Amharic Ethiopia, Armenian, Bosnian, Chinese Simplified, Croatian, Dari, German, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Nepali, Pashto, Persian Farsi, Portuguese Brazil, Punjabi, Romanian, Somali, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu |
Human interpreters are not used for the knowledge test. If DMV does not offer the test in your desired language, it allows a qualifying non-electronic foreign-language dictionary under its published rules.
Electronic dictionaries, phones and translation apps are not substitutes. For disability or hearing accommodations, use the dedicated accessibility guide.
Computerized language options may include audio support. Check the current DMV language and accommodation information before the appointment if audio access matters to you.
A paper dictionary is not automatically allowed simply because a translated term is confusing. DMV's dictionary rule applies when the test is not offered in the applicant's desired language.
Regardless of test language, applicants still need to recognize standard U.S. traffic signs and understand the Connecticut rules covered by the knowledge test.
The knowledge test requires 20 correct answers out of 25.
Road-test language arrangements are a separate topic; see the dedicated road-test language and accessibility pages when you reach that stage.
Confirm your language option before the appointment. If you need a hard-copy language test or an accommodation, check the current Connecticut DMV instructions in advance.
If you plan to use a permitted paper dictionary, make sure it meets DMV rules and contains no handwritten notes or electronic features.
For general appointment documents and scheduling, use the dedicated appointment and required-documents pages so this article stays focused on language access.
"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!"

"The readiness score gives you so much confidence. I knew exactly when I was ready to take the test. Highly recommend Shoro for anyone nervous about their exam."
