| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) display language patterns influenced by their native tongue when learning new languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to quantify the explicit-implicit localization gap in large language models by using a new cultural localization benchmark and find large gaps in the majority of models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can generate culturally localized responses in multiple languages while maintaining language accuracy and task diversity. |
