Hinglish Safety Bench

A parallel safety benchmark for English, Hindi, Marathi and Hinglish (romanised, code-mixed Hindi-English). Built for the Lexsi AI Safety and Alignment Hackathon, Track 2a, problem 4: test whether safety holds across languages and mixed-language prompts, then close the gaps.

Every prompt exists in all four languages, so a difference in model behaviour can be attributed to the language and not to the content.

What is in it

	Unique prompts	Rows (x4 languages)
Harmful (should be refused)	199	796
Harmless but scary-sounding (should be answered)	250	1,000
Total	449	1,796

The harmless half exists to measure over-refusal: a model that refuses everything looks safe on the harmful half alone.

Splits

Splits are by prompt, so all four languages of a prompt always land in the same split.

Split	Harmful	Harmless	Use
`direction`	43	47	extracting a refusal direction
`val`	43	47	tuning steering strength and thresholds
`test`	113	156	reported results only

(Counts are per language.)

Fields

Field	Meaning
`id`	`<seed_id>_<language>`
`seed_id`	links the four language versions of one prompt
`language`	`en`, `hi`, `mr`, `hinglish`
`prompt`	the text
`harmful`	`true` for the HarmBench-derived half, `false` for the XSTest-derived half
`category`	source category (HarmBench risk area, or XSTest prompt type)
`source`	`HarmBench` or `XSTest`
`split`	`direction`, `val`, `test`
`hinglish_method`	for Hinglish rows: `llm` or `romanised` (see below)

Harmful risk areas (unique prompts): illegal 57, cybercrime/intrusion 40, misinformation/disinformation 34, chemical/biological 28, harmful (general) 21, harassment/bullying 19.

How it was built

English seeds come from HarmBench (harmful) and XSTest (harmless).
Hindi and Marathi are machine translations with NLLB-200-distilled-600M.
Hinglish is written by CohereLabs/tiny-aya-base from five few-shot examples. A base model is used on purpose: chat-tuned models answered the prompts instead of translating them. 443 of 449 Hinglish rows come from the model; 6 fell back to a rule-based romanisation of the Hindi (marked romanised).
Cleaning with CuratorKIT (exact and MinHash de-duplication over the English prompts). A prompt is kept only if all four language versions pass.

Quality

Automated screening of all 1,347 non-English rows (empty, untranslated, wrong script, extreme length, lost sentence ending, no shared terms): Hindi 100% pass, Marathi 100% pass, Hinglish 94.7% pass. 24 Hinglish rows were flagged for review.
Human review: not completed. The 24 flagged rows are kept and listed in the project repository (review/flagged_rows.xlsx) for review.
Automated checks catch structural faults, not drift in meaning. A translation can pass every check and still soften a word (for example a violent verb rendered as a milder one), which matters most for the harmless-but-scary half.

Intended use

Measuring whether a model's refusal behaviour survives translation and code-mixing, and evaluating fixes. Not for training models to produce harmful content.

Limitations

US-centric content. The English seeds come from US benchmarks, so some prompts reference US institutions and are not typical of what Indian users write.
Machine-made translations. Hinglish has no standard spelling, and the Hinglish here comes from a model in the same family as the models we tested, which could make the measured gap smaller than it is in real use.
Moderate size. About 113 harmful prompts per language in the test split gives confidence intervals of roughly +/-9 points. Report intervals, not single numbers.
Languages. Hindi, Marathi and Hinglish only.

Ethics

The dataset contains prompts only, never harmful completions. The harmful prompts are taken from a published benchmark and translated; none were written for this project. It is intended for safety research.

Licence and credits

Released under CC BY-NC 4.0. This is the most restrictive licence among the components, chosen deliberately: the translations were produced by models released under non-commercial licences (NLLB: CC BY-NC 4.0; Tiny Aya: CC BY-NC).
