Mind the Gap: Exposing LLM Translation Blind Spots Using the AlphaMWE Multilingual Parallel Corpus

LLMs' performance on machine translation (MT) tasks is often dependent on the data availability in the specific domains and language pairs that they are trained upon. To examine if Multiword Expressions (MWEs) still set a bottleneck for LLMs regarding language understanding and translation, we report the system performances from the WMT2026 Test Suites shared task, for which we used the publicly available multilingual parallel corpus AlphaMWE as the test suites. We received 31 MT systems' outputs covering English to Chinese (zh), Polish (pl), German (de), Arabic (ar) including Modern Standard
