ROK-FORTRESS: Measuring the Effect of Geopolitical Transcreation for National Security and Public Safety

arXiv:2605. 14152v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safety evaluations for large language models (LLMs) increasingly target high-stakes National Security and Public Safety (NSPS) risks, yet multilingual safety is mostly assessed through translation-only benchmarks that preserve the underlying scenario, leaving how language and geopolitical context interact largely unexamined beyond a few language pairs.

We're Cooked! - Probing LLM Political Alignment Via Conflict-Framed Recipe Translation

The study investigates how a single politically charged framing term can influence large language models (LLMs) during translation tasks. By prompting eight models from Western, Chinese, and European origins to translate culturally attributed recipes across 17 languages under four framing conditions, the authors find that models resolve ambiguity rather than decline, with distinct behavior patterns tied to model families. Sensitivity to framing terms is consistent, showing that even subtle variations can modulate LLM behavior, raising concerns about implicit political judgments in translation contexts.
