HUM-09 · Multilingual center brief

Study model performance across languages relevant to your program; refuse English-only conclusions.

At least two languages tied to the center’s actual program. Parallel task (translation, comprehension questions, or summarization) with human reference where possible. Results table with language labels. Explicit refusal of English-only generalization.

Testing only English plus one token phrase in another language. Declaring a language “low resource” without a source. Inventing evaluation papers.

Multilingual results table; method note; center-facing recommendation; non-claim list (including what was not tested); English-only conclusions crossed out in the draft and absent in the final.

CT: performance ≠ prestige. CR: program-relevant languages. CO: bilingual peer checks one item. CM: center brief. CZ: speakers of the non-English language(s).

Language teacher reviews task fairness across languages. School-supervised.
