Global Security Blind Spots: Translation as a Safety Bypass in Low-Resource Languages

arXiv:2610.27304v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are deployed globally, yet safety alignment and evaluation remain concentrated in English: harmful requests refused in English can elicit unsafe completions when translated into low-resource languages. We evaluate ten widely deployed LLMs across 79 languages (English plus 78 low-resource) under a translation-bypass threat model, using a metric conditioned on English safety, which separates translation bypass from unsafety already present in English. English safety does not transfer reliably: conditioned on safe English com
