Executive Summary

This category covers the 20 most common colour words (red, blue, green, yellow, etc.) across many languages, presented as child-facing flashcards. Overall quality is high: most language packs show very high or high confidence in the accuracy and suitability of the vocabulary. The most common issues are slightly formal wording, occasional long phrases, and regional variations — these do not affect correctness but can change how natural a word sounds to local children. Creole and Pacific languages show expected borrowing from English; that reflects real language use rather than an error.

About This Report

Methodology

Each translation was independently evaluated by an AI language model on four dimensions: meaning accuracy, naturalness for children, correct script usage, and contamination risk (English leakage or wrong-language content). Scores range from 0–100. A score of 70+ indicates the translation is appropriate for use in educational materials. Language-level confidence ratings are derived from the distribution of individual scores within that language pack.

Important Notes

This is an automated quality review, not a native-speaker audit. While it reliably catches mistranslations, script errors, and English leakage, it may not capture every subtle dialect preference or cultural nuance. For languages with very few speakers or limited digital resources, our confidence is naturally more conservative. We recommend supplementary review by a native speaker where possible, particularly for lower-confidence languages.
