The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This survey claims that multilingual prompt engineering is now systematic enough to be organized by NLP task, and that a task-based taxonomy is the right way to compare methods. It reviews 36 papers, 39 prompting techniques, and 30 multilingual tasks spanning roughly 250 languages, and assigns each dataset a potential best (SoTA) prompting method. The point of the exercise is practical: a researcher or practitioner who wants to prompt an LLM in multiple languages can look up which technique has worked best for their task and language, rather than re-deriving the field from scratch. The survey also documents a clear imbalance: most methods and studies concentrate on high-resource languages, while the wide low-resource coverage is driven almost entirely by machine translation.

What carries the argument

The carrying apparatus is a task-first taxonomy plus a standardized naming scheme for prompting techniques. The survey groups 30 NLP tasks, from reasoning and question answering to translation, sequence labeling, and dialogue evaluation, and for each dataset it tabulates the prompting strategies tested, the LLMs used, the language count, and the designated SoTA method. The standardization of names, which collapses Basic, Standard, Vanilla, and Direct prompting into En-Basic or Native-Basic and merges variants into {Technique} + Variations, is what lets results from different papers sit side by side in one comparison.

What would settle it

Run the designated SoTA method and its strongest competitor on the same dataset, with the same metric and decoding settings; if the competitor wins on MGSM, XNLI, or FLORES, that dataset's SoTA designation is wrong. A milder check: for any SoTA entry backed by a single study, reproduction by an independent group would be the first test.

Watch

Extended reading notes

Core claim

On the paper's own terms, the discovery is that multilingual prompt engineering can be productively standardized and catalogued: methods with different names across the literature are consolidated under common labels such as En-Basic, Native-Basic, X-Basic, XLT, CLP, CLSP, X-InSTA, SAP, DIPMT, DecoMT, MAPS, and MEEP, and each is mapped to the NLP task and datasets where it has been tested. The survey then identifies a potential state-of-the-art prompting method for each dataset, for instance CLSP for MGSM, XLT for XNLI and PAWS-X, X-InSTA for MARC and CLS, DecoMT for FLORES, and MAPS for WMT-22. It further argues that cross-lingual reasoning methods that route through English or align a native language with English generally beat plain English or native baselines on reasoning-heavy tasks, and that this whole field is recent and fast-moving.

Load-bearing premise

The whole per-dataset SoTA ranking rests on the assumption that results from different studies can be compared at all, even though evaluation metrics differ and dataset versions vary across the surveyed papers.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • A practitioner can select a starting-point prompt for a multilingual dataset from the SoTA column, such as CLSP for MGSM or X-InSTA for MARC, instead of testing every published variant.
  • Cross-lingual chain-of-thought and translation-anchored methods are the strongest family for reasoning and inference tasks, while dictionary-based and memory-based prompting dominates translation for low-resource languages.
  • The taxonomy gives future surveys and benchmarks a common vocabulary, since it consolidates multiple names for the same core prompting idea.
  • Low-resource languages are covered more broadly than commonly assumed, but almost entirely inside machine translation; other tasks remain high-resource dominated.
  • Because most included studies appeared within the last two years, the SoTA designations are expected to shift quickly as new methods are published.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Read the SoTA column as provisional: the survey itself notes that evaluation metrics are omitted and that designations rely on informed judgment, so the real ranking is an empirical question until methods meet on identical benchmarks.
  • A testable extension would sort the same prompts by language family rather than by task, asking whether English-routing methods hold their edge in typologically distant families such as Dravidian or Niger-Congo.
  • The high-resource versus low-resource gap suggests an immediate research target: port the twenty prompting techniques already used on high-resource languages to low-resource settings beyond translation, where only a subset has been tried.
  • The taxonomy could be extended into a living leaderboard, replacing informed judgment with standardized evaluation across the same model family.

Referee Report

3 major / 4 minor

Summary. This manuscript surveys multilingual prompt engineering for large language models, reviewing 36 research papers, 39 prompting techniques, 30 NLP tasks, and roughly 250 languages. It organizes the literature by NLP task, presenting per-task tables that list prompting strategies, LLMs, language counts, references, and a designated 'potential SoTA' method for each dataset. It then derives descriptive insights about the distribution of tasks and prompting techniques across language families and high- vs. low-resource languages. The central claims are that multilingual prompt engineering can be systematically categorized by NLP task and that per-dataset SoTA prompting methods can be identified from the surveyed literature.

Significance. If the taxonomy and SoTA designations were adequately supported, this survey would be a useful reference for practitioners selecting prompting methods in multilingual settings, and the language-family/resource-level analyses would help identify coverage gaps. A notable strength is that the descriptive statistics in Section 4 are transparent tallies of the authors' own curated tables rather than fitted or predicted quantities, and the paper states its selection criteria for included papers. However, the usefulness of the survey as a method-selection resource depends on the reliability of the SoTA column and on the consistency of the task taxonomy, both of which currently need substantial revision.

major comments (3)
  1. [Section 3 (intro) and Tables 2-31] The SoTA designations are not verifiable as presented. The paper states that 'Evaluation metrics are omitted, as they differ across studies' and that 'the use of varying versions of the same dataset further complicates direct performance comparisons,' with SoTA chosen by 'informed judgment.' Because each SoTA entry aggregates results across different LLMs, few-shot counts, decoding settings, and unstated metrics from different source papers, a reader cannot independently check entries such as CLSP for MGSM (Table 2), XLT for XNLI (Table 22), or X-InSTA for MARC (Table 8). To support the central claim, the authors should either report the metric and experimental protocol behind each SoTA designation, or explicitly restrict the claim to 'best among methods compared under a common protocol' and remove designations that aggregate incomparable results.
  2. [Section 3 taxonomy; Tables 22, 25, 28] The claim that 'we ensure each dataset is associated with a single NLP task' is contradicted by the survey's own tables. XNLI appears in both Natural Language Inference (Table 22) and Task Understanding Consistency (Table 25), while PAWS-X appears in both Task Understanding Consistency (Table 25) and Paraphrasing (Table 28). This undermines the stated principle of the taxonomy and complicates the descriptive analyses that count tasks per dataset. The authors should either allow explicit multi-label assignments with justification, or remove one of the duplicate assignments and clarify the boundaries between the affected task definitions.
  3. [Section 1.2] The literature search process is not reproducible as described. The paper lists 11 Google Scholar queries, says manual filtering produced 189 articles, and then applies two selection criteria to reach 36 papers, but it does not report the search date, the exact query strings used, the number of papers retrieved per query, or the screening decisions that removed papers. Since the language-family and resource-level statistics in Section 4 depend entirely on this selected corpus, the authors should provide a more complete and reproducible selection protocol, including a flowchart or exclusion log.
minor comments (4)
  1. [Section 3.15, Table 16] The text says 'we found two datasets which are XGLUE-POS, UDPOS and XTREME,' but lists three datasets; the table also contains three rows. Please correct the count or the wording.
  2. [Abstract and Section 4] The abstract reports 39 prompting techniques, while Section 4.1 and Figure 7 state '38 distinct prompting techniques.' Please reconcile the counts.
  3. [Table 13 and Section 3.12] There are typographical errors in language-pair names: 'Tamil-Finish,' 'Finish-French,' 'Finish-German,' 'Finish-Arabic,' and similar entries should read 'Finnish'; 'Gujrati-Hindi' should be 'Gujarati-Hindi.'
  4. [Throughout] Several LaTeX artifacts appear in the text, including 'Y oruba,' 'V osoughi,' and 'ty pologically.' A copyediting pass is needed.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the survey's SoTA labels are explicit literature syntheses, not predictions derived from fitted inputs.

full rationale

This survey does not derive quantitative predictions from fitted parameters. Its 'potential SoTA' entries are explicitly hedged: the authors state 'Evaluation metrics are omitted, as they differ across studies' and 'Given these limitations, we rely on informed judgment to identify the most effective prompting method per dataset based on existing literature and multilingual results,' so the SoTA column is a literature synthesis, not a benchmark reproduction. The descriptive statistics (e.g., counts of prompting techniques per language family or resource level) are immediate tallies of the authors' own curated tables, not external benchmarks, and no equation reduces a claimed finding to its own input. The only author self-citations appear in a related-work list of generic prompt-engineering surveys (Vatsal & Dubey 2024; Singh et al. 2024); they are not used to justify the taxonomy, SoTA choices, or conclusions, so they are not load-bearing. Internal inconsistencies such as PAWS-X appearing under both Paraphrasing and Task Understanding Consistency, and the omission of metrics, are verification and consistency concerns rather than circular reasoning.

Assumptions & free parameters 0 free parameters · 5 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The survey introduces no fitted parameters and no new entities. Its claims rest on selection criteria (hard prompts, at least two languages), the accuracy of the cited papers, and the authors' resource and family classifications, none of which are externally validated in the paper.

assumptions (5)
  • domain assumption Hard prompt focus: only techniques using discrete natural-language prompts are included; soft prompt tuning is excluded by criterion 1 in Section 1.2.
    Selection criterion restricting the survey's scope; if soft prompting were included, the taxonomy and SoTA designations would change.
  • domain assumption Multilingual scope: each included study must apply the method in at least two languages (criterion 2, Section 1.2).
    This definition of 'multilingual' excludes single-language and English-only studies, shaping all coverage counts and figures.
  • domain assumption Reported results in the 36 surveyed papers are taken as accurate.
    The survey does not re-run experiments, so its SoTA designations inherit the validity of the source papers.
  • domain assumption High-resource versus low-resource classification and language-family assignments are reliable and consistent across the survey.
    Figures 2-9 aggregate languages by family and resource level, but the underlying assignment procedure is not described in the text, making these aggregations unauditable.
  • domain assumption The authors' 'informed judgment' is sufficient to identify a best prompting method per dataset despite heterogeneous metrics and dataset versions.
    Stated in Section 3 intro: evaluation metrics are omitted and SoTA is chosen by informed judgment from existing literature.

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance across a wide range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. However, ensuring their effectiveness across multiple languages presents unique challenges. Multilingual prompt engineering has emerged as a key approach to enhance LLMs' capabilities in diverse linguistic settings without requiring extensive parameter re-training or fine-tuning. With growing interest in multilingual prompt engineering over the past two to three years, researchers have explored various strategies to improve LLMs' performance across languages and NLP tasks. By crafting structured natural language prompts, researchers have successfully extracted knowledge from LLMs across different languages, making these techniques an accessible pathway for a broader audience, including those without deep expertise in machine learning, to harness the capabilities of LLMs. In this paper, we survey and categorize different multilingual prompting techniques based on the NLP tasks they address across a diverse set of datasets that collectively span around 250 languages. We further highlight the LLMs employed, present a taxonomy of approaches and discuss potential state-of-the-art (SoTA) methods for specific multilingual datasets. Additionally, we derive a range of insights across language families and resource levels (high-resource vs. low-resource), including analyses such as the distribution of NLP tasks by language resource type and the frequency of prompting methods across different language families. Our survey reviews 36 research papers covering 39 prompting techniques applied to 30 multilingual NLP tasks, with the majority of these studies published in the last two years.
