Measuring Language Transfer in Robot Policies: Adding Greek to a Cosmos3 Vision-Language-Action Policy

The paper investigates adding Greek language support to a Cosmos3 vision‑language‑action robot policy using only machine‑rephrased instructions and no architectural changes. It finds that many evaluation metrics can give misleading results, and that multilingual training with Greek yields a modest 6.7‑7.1 point advantage over a control, reaching about 40% of English performance. The study also shows that overfitting to a single translator’s phrasing can be mitigated by training on multiple phrasings, while warm‑starting from a language‑adapted world model or unfreezing the text tower actually harms performance.
