| Challenge: | Multilingual HolisticBias dataset includes 20,459 sentences in 50 languages . dataset is intended to uncover demographic imbalances and quantify mitigations . |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual extension of the HolisticBias dataset . they use 118 demographic descriptors and three patterns to build multilingual sentences . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves translation quality when the source input only differs in gender . it also improves when the masculine human reference is used in the model . |

| Challenge: | In this paper, we evaluate and analyze added toxicity when translating a large dataset from English into 164 languages. |
| Approach: | They evaluate added toxicity when translating a large dataset from English into 164 languages. |
| Outcome: | The results show that added toxicity is more prevalent in low-resource languages than in high-resolution translations. |
