| Challenge: | Recent advances in abstractive summarization have focused on English, but more recently, with the advent of large pre-trained models, the task is becoming more complex. |
| Approach: | They propose an approach to cross-lingual summarization that uses an intermediate planning step as a cross-linguistic bridge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art in terms of informativeness and faithfulness on the XWikis dataset. |

| Challenge: | Existing evaluation metrics for monolingual summarization require translation to evaluate the factuality of cross-lingual summmarization. |
| Approach: | They propose to analyze cross-lingual factuality by collecting annotations and generated summaries from models at summary level and sentence level. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset shows that over 50% of generated summaries contain factual errors with different characteristics from monolingual summarization. |
