  1. A model’s interface lists ten languages. What does that alone establish about answer quality?
    • Equal accuracy in all ten
    • Equal token counts in every script
    • Only that the interface offers them, not equal task performance
    • Identical cultural context for every user
  2. Why can two translations of similar meaning consume different context capacity?
    • Tokenization can assign different token counts across languages
    • All scripts use one character per token
    • Meaning fixes token count exactly
    • The model ignores non-English text
  3. What does cross-lingual transfer not guarantee?
    • That shared patterns can help a second language
    • That a multilingual model learns representations
    • That transfer is measurable
    • Correct handling of local idioms and specialized terminology
  4. Why use natural local examples rather than only machine-translated English benchmark items?
    • Local examples make every model perfect
    • Translated prompts can be unnatural or erroneous for the target language
    • English benchmarks contain no questions
    • Translation always fixes cultural mismatch
  5. A support request mixes languages and a product code. What should evaluation check?
    • Whether the answer preserves names and codes while handling both languages
    • Only the length of the English portion
    • Only whether the model emits one language label
    • Only the number of fonts installed
  6. Which user-experience details need review beyond the model’s words?
    • Only total model parameters
    • Only the English prompt template
    • Fonts, text direction, locale formats, citations and fallback behavior
    • Only server memory use
  7. In the guide’s invented example, why is 86% combined accuracy misleading?
    • It proves both languages reached 86%
    • It hides 50% accuracy on the smaller language-B group
    • It uses no reference answers
    • It means every B answer was wrong
  8. A requested-language task is unreliable. What should the product do?
    • Silently switch to an unsupported answer
    • Report only a global average
    • Hide the source so errors are less visible
    • Communicate the limit and preserve access to the source
