What this changes

belebele_{lvs,lit,mlt,slv}_Latn_cf could not be built. Prompt construction for the cf formulation reads question_word and answer, and the TranslationLiterals entries for Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese and Slovenian left every field unset, so the documents failed before any model was loaded:

AttributeError: Translation for 'answer' is needed for Language.LATVIAN.

This fills in the literal set described in docs/source/contributing-to-multilingual-evaluations.mdx for the four languages. The punctuation defaults (., ,, ?, !, :) already match these languages, so only the words are set, and the choice indices stay A/B/C/D.

Verification

Building the cf prompt directly, which needs neither a dataset download nor a model, on the four languages from the report.

Before:

belebele_eng_cf: OK  'France is a country in Europe.\nQuestion: What is the capital of France?\nAnswer:'
belebele_lav_cf: FAILED: Translation for 'answer' is needed for Language.LATVIAN.
belebele_lit_cf: FAILED: Translation for 'answer' is needed for Language.LITHUANIAN.
belebele_mlt_cf: FAILED: Translation for 'answer' is needed for Language.MALTESE.
belebele_slv_cf: FAILED: Translation for 'answer' is needed for Language.SLOVENIAN.

After:

belebele_lav_cf: OK  'France is a country in Europe.\nJautājums: What is the capital of France?\nAtbilde:'
belebele_lit_cf: OK  'France is a country in Europe.\nKlausimas: What is the capital of France?\nAtsakymas:'
belebele_mlt_cf: OK  'France is a country in Europe.\nMistoqsija: What is the capital of France?\nTweġiba:'
belebele_slv_cf: OK  'France is a country in Europe.\nVprašanje: What is the capital of France?\nOdgovor:'

The new test test_multichoice_prompt_cf_uses_language_literals pins the rendered query, the unconditioned query and the choices for the four languages. With the literal entries reverted it fails on all four parameters with the AttributeError above; with them it passes.

• pytest tests/unit/tasks → 36 passed
• ruff format --check and ruff check clean (ruff 0.17.3)

Note on the words

These are the standard single-word forms for each language. If you prefer different phrasings for confirmation_word ("vai ne", "ar ne", "hux hekk", "kajne") or neither, they are a one-line change each.
