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.
