Metric: MQM>=80 rate (%): share of round-trip translations whose back-translation to English scores at least 80 on an MQM error scale (minor -1, major -5, critical -25) from a Grok 4.1 Fast judge comparing it with the English source; each passage is translated serially through a four-language sequence and back, averaged over eight sequences (high, medium and low-resource languages); pragmatics passages on presuppositions and implicatures; higher is better.
