Yep - I saw that page, and that the study forms are only offered in English and Spanish. I'm hoping an FFL can clarify whether that's also the case for the tests.

If an FSC test recipient is unable to read the test, the DOJ Certified Instructor, or a translator if necessary, shall administer the test orally. If a translator is being used, the DOJ Certified Instructor must inform the translator that only the language of an FSC test may be interpreted. No further explanation of the questions or answers to the questions may be provided.

Also important to note that colluding on a test might get you a 10 year (or permanent) firearms ban and/or 4 years in prison. So the translator better not do anything to feed answers to the test taker. And the instructor can also get in hot water if they know it's happening and allow it:

If a DOJ Certified Instructor observes a test applicant using reference materials or receiving unauthorized assistance while taking the FSC test, the applicant is automatically disqualified. The DOJ Certified Instructor must note his or her observations and reasons for the disqualification on the back of the applicant’s test answer sheet. Additionally, the DOJ Certified Instructor must sign and date the test answer sheet. Fifteen dollars ($15) must be returned to the applicant because no FSC will have been issued. The DOJ Certified Instructor shall advise the applicant that although the test can be retaken after 24 hours have elapsed, he or she will be required to pay the entire $25 fee regardless of whether the disqualification occurred on their first or second attempt at taking the FSC test.

Pursuant to Penal Code section 27550, the following are considered acts of collusion punishable by imprisonment for up to four years depending on the specific circumstances:
 Answering a test applicant’s questions while taking the written test;
 Knowingly grading the examination falsely;
 Providing an advance copy of the test to an applicant;
 Allowing another to take the written test for the applicant, purchaser, or transferee;
 Using or allowing another to use one’s identification, proof of residency, or thumbprint;
 Allowing others to give unauthorized assistance during the examination;
 Reference to unauthorized materials during the examination and cheating by the applicant; and
 Providing originals or photocopies of the written test, or any version thereof to any person other than as authorized by the Department.

That clears everything up. Thanks!

In case this ends up indexed by google:
The written test is offered in English and Spanish only. A verbal translator is allowed if necessary (see SkyHakw's post above!)
