# The State of Multilingual LLM Safety Research: From Measuring the Language Gap to Mitigating It
We present a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic diversity of LLM safety research, highlighting the English-centric nature of the field. Through a systematic review of nearly 300 publications from 2020–2024 across major NLP conferences and workshops at *ACL, we identify a significant and growing language gap in LLM safety research, with even high-resource non-English languages receiving minimal attention.
- **Paper:** https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.24119
### Dataset Description
Current version of the dataset consists of annotations for conference and workshop papers collected from *ACL venues between 2020 and 2024, using keywords of "safe" and "safety" in abstracts to identify relevant literature. The data source is https://github.com/acl-org/acl-anthology/tree/master/data, and the paperes are curated by Zheng-Xin Yong, Beyza Ermis, Marzieh Fadaee, and Julia Kreutzer.
### Dataset Structure
- xml: xml string from ACL Anthology
- proceedings: proceedings of the conference or workshop the work is published in.
- year: year of publication
- url: paper url on ACL Anthology
- language documentation: whether the paper explicitly reports the languages studied in the work. ("x" indicates failure of reporting)
- has non-English?: whether the work contains non-English language. (0: English-only, 1: has at least one non-English language)
- topics: topic of the safety work ('jailbreaking attacks'; 'toxicity, bias'; 'hallucination, factuality'; 'privacy'; 'policy'; 'general safety, LLM alignment'; 'others')
- language coverage: languages covered in the work (null means English only)
- title: title of the paper
- abstract: abstract of the paper
