*Workshop co-located with EACL, 24-29 March 2026, Rabat, Morocco*

LLMs in so many languages? When can such a claim be substantiated, and how should it be evaluated? This workshop brings together the community to answer these questions through three goals:
- Establish a dedicated venue for multilingual evaluation, including resources, metrics, and methodologies;
- Advance and standardize evaluation practices to enhance accuracy, scalability, fairness, and cross-system comparability;
- Integrate cultural and social dimensions into multilingual evaluation.

*Call for Papers*
We invite archival (ACL Anthology) or non-archival submissions, in ACL's short or long format. We accept both direct and ARR-reviewed submissions. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Evaluation resources beyond English or Western-centric perspectives and materials;
- Annotation methodology and procedures;
- Standardised reporting, and scientific comparison of multilingual performance;
- Evaluation protocols: ranking vs direct assessment, rubric-based vs reference-based vs reference-free, prompt variations, etc;
- Metrics, LLM judges, and reward models;
- Complex tasks: multimodality, fairness, long I/O, tool using, code-switching, literary, etc;
- Sociocultural and cognitive variation affecting the use and evaluation across languages;
- Scalable evaluation of cultural and factual knowledge;
- Efficient evaluation of a massive number of languages and tasks;
- AI-assisted evaluation: data, methods, metrics, and standards;
- Other position, application-, or theory-focused contributions.
