Second or Third Foreign Language in obligatory core subjects
or possibly, "Second or Third Foreign Language in common general subjects" depending on what they mean by "felles allmenne fag". "Fellesfag" is common core subjects and"allmennfag" is general subjects.

: No, this is incorrect even according to the sources given for this answer. B/C- språk has nothing to do with whether it's 2nd or 3rd language, but deals with at what level one started studying the language

I think you do not understand the Norwegian school system's nomenclature for how language studies are distinguished. In this context, A, B or C er very specific terms for which language you study: primary, secondary or terciary. No more, no less.

(see discussion below)
C-språk = C-language (second, third, etc.
foreign language begun at the upper
secondary school – R-94)
B-språk = B-language (Second foreign
language begun at the lower or upper
secondary school – R-94)
"under felles almenne fag" I'd translate with "as part of the required core subjects"
In the text to be translated B/C-språk refers to a second foreign language (usually German, French or Spanish) started at either the lower or upper secondary school (middle school or high school).

I'm sorry but the chosen answer is incorrect. I actually did finish my secondary education in Norway, and so did my 4 younger brithers and sister (who left secondary school between 1990 and 2004). I started studying my second language, German, in grade 8 and thus have German as a my B-language. One of my brothers opted out of German in Grade 8 and 9 and only started learning his second language in grade 10 and thus has German as his C-language in his diploma, even if both of us studied it as our second foreign language.
