# Language & Multilingual · Global Fix Map A compact hub to **stabilize cross-lingual retrieval and reasoning**. Use this folder when your corpus or queries include CJK, RTL, Indic, Cyrillic, accented Latin, or frequent code-switching. --- ## Quick routes to per-page guides - Tokenizer mismatch → [tokenizer_mismatch.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Language/tokenizer_mismatch.md) -

Bilingual and code-switch eval sets → [code_switching_eval.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Language/code_switching_eval.md) --- ## When to use this folder - High similarity yet wrong meaning on bilingual or mixed-script corpora - Citations point to the wrong section after translating the question - Hybrid retrievers underperform a single retriever across languages - Index looks healthy while coverage stays low for non-Latin scripts - Names flip between native, transliteration, and English aliases - zh-Hans and zh-Hant never co-retrieve, Thai recall drops with no clear cause --- ## Acceptance targets - ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 across language variants - Coverage of the target section ≥ 0.70 after repair - λ remains convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds - E_resonance stays flat on long windows that mix scripts - Citation fields complete, alias noise does not leak into evidence --- ## Open these first -

If unstable, stop and fix detection first. Open → [query_language_detection.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Language/query_language_detection.md) 2. **Lock normalization and analyzers** Keep the same locale, width, accents, and segmentation for both index and search.

Open → [hybrid_ranking_multilingual.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Language/hybrid_ranking_multilingual.md) 5. **Use a translation bridge only as last resort** Enable only when the native path keeps high ΔS. Always pair with a glossary. Open → [fallback_translation_and_glossary_bridge.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Language/fallback_translation_and_glossary_bridge.md) 6. **Verify** With bilingual and code-switch test sets confirm ΔS ≤ 0.45 and Coverage ≥ 0.70, λ convergent.
