Trying to understand the Norwegian perspective.

Im in the process of learning norsk and mean while hunting job ( learning language also requires some money, Eh!)

I have received only rejections so far, even from the positions that never mentioned Norwegian as a requirement.

I know i have the skill set and determination and can make a good impression, but i need to reach an interview for that. I dont want to fake, but should I translate my CV in norsk?

PS: my field is not language-dependent.

If being fluent in Norwegian is the issue (wouldn't surprise me) translating your CV won't help much apart from maybe getting you to an initial phone screen.

Then there's only so much kan du gjenta you can do before you're toast.

Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
