bfcl-pt-pt

The single-turn categories of the Berkeley Function Calling Leaderboard (BFCL v3) with the user questions translated into European Portuguese (pt-PT). Functions and possible answers are unchanged, so BFCL's AST checker scores a model the same way as on the English set.

Category	Questions	Kept after checks
simple	400	394
multiple	200	197
parallel	200	200
parallel_multiple	200	198
irrelevance	240	238
live_simple	258	252
live_multiple	1,053	1,010
live_parallel	16	16
live_parallel_multiple	24	23
live_irrelevance	882	852
live_relevance	18	17

The code categories (Java, JavaScript, SQL, REST), the executable ones and the multi-turn ones are left out.

📄 Files

Files keep BFCL's names and layout: BFCL_v3_<category>.json holds the questions and possible_answer/BFCL_v3_<category>.json the answers, both as JSON lines. Ids are the same as in BFCL.

from datasets import load_dataset

simple = load_dataset("jgalego/bfcl-pt-pt", "simple", split="test")

To score with BFCL's own checker, use these files in place of its data files of the same names.

🔧 How it is built

• Only user messages are translated, by google/gemma-4-31B-it with greedy decoding. Function definitions stay in English.
• Strings from the possible answers that appear in the question and are quoted, or look like a name, code or identifier, are copied as they are, so the answers still match the question. Other words are translated, so the model has to map them back to the English values the functions expect.
• Questions that fail the checks of jgalego/function-calling-pt-pt are dropped with their answers. Scores are over the kept questions only, so they are not directly comparable with English BFCL scores.
