Despite the growing use of LLM-powered agents to solve multi-step tasks in complex environments, existing benchmarks rarely test state preservation, performance across languages, and application to re...
WorldBench is a new multilingual benchmark that tests large language model agents on culturally grounded everyday workflows, offering 1,600 tasks in seven languages and eight cultures. The benchmark evaluates agents through structured sandbox actions and introduces Constrained Task Success (CTS), a metric that assesses task completion, minimal modification, and other complementary aspects via deterministic and LLM-as-a-Judge evaluations. Experiments show that even leading models achieve only 49.2% CTS, revealing significant gaps in correctness and state preservation across languages and cultures.
arXiv:2607. 06008v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Large Language Model (LLM) agents excel at monolingual long-horizon planning and tool use, enterprise workflows inherently require processing multilingual resources across extended trajectories.
arXiv:2609.15079v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-agent LLM architectures, such as LangChain and AutoGen, largely assume English as the lingua franca for internal inter-agent communication, eve...
Agentic benchmarks aim to measure how well AI agents plan, search, execute, and recover within realistic multi-tool environments, but they are almost exclusively in English. As AI agents are globally deployed to a linguistically diverse user base, whether agentic competence measured in English transfers to other languages remains an open question.
arXiv:2607. 06008v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents have shown strong performance in long-horizon tasks that require planning, tool use, and interaction with external environments.
arXiv:2601. 05366v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as agents that invoke external tools through structured function calls.
arXiv:2608.28641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most evaluations for coding agents are conducted exclusively in English, which does not reflect real-world multilingual deployment. We present Termin...

The paper audits 51 multilingual evaluation benchmarks covering 242 datasets and 219 languages, focusing on coverage, representativeness, and rigor. It finds that while coverage is broad, many languages appear in only one benchmark and entire regions are underrepresented, with low-resource languages evaluated on far fewer tasks than high-resource ones. The study also highlights that most datasets rely on English translations, creating artifacts and limiting cultural relevance, and that benchmark contamination through translation leakage and corpus overlap undermines rigor. Recommendations call for natively constructed, culturally grounded, contamination-aware evaluation frameworks that truly serve the communities they aim to assess.
The paper audits 51 recent multilingual evaluation benchmarks covering 242 datasets and 219 languages, focusing on coverage, representativeness, and rigor. It finds that while coverage is broad, many languages appear in only one benchmark and entire regions are underrepresented; low‑resource languages face a task equity gap. Representativeness is compromised by heavy reliance on English translations, and rigor is weakened by benchmark contamination and parallel‑corpus overlap. The authors propose concrete recommendations for building evaluation frameworks that are natively constructed, culturally grounded, contamination‑aware, and community‑aligned.
