针对多语言模型推理时翻译程度的权衡，提出自适应调控框架提升低资源语言可靠性。

Multilingual large language models often struggle to reason in low- to mid-resource languages. Prior work has shown that translation can improve multilingual reasoning by helping models access stronger English-centric representations. This raises a central question: How much translation is needed for multilingual large language models to reason reliably, and when does more translation instead trigger interference and overconfidence? Using LLaMA and Qwen models, we run extensive experiments varying text scope and language mode (target-only, English-only, bilingual) to evaluate both accuracy and reliability. Our results reveal a clear trade-off: English context often improve understanding and recover errors caused by non-English comprehension, yet adding redundant bilingual context intensifies interference. We address this trade-off with Reliability-Aware Adaptive Inference (RAAI), a training-free test-time framework that (i) performs Expected Calibration Error (ECE)-aware routing and prompt fusion, and (ii) uses a mid-layer Risk Index (RI) to gate sequential reasoning, allocating compute only when it is likely to help and suppressing harmful bilingual redundancy. Across two model families, RAAI enhances accuracy by 25-37.7% on low-resource languages and lowers calibration error by approximately 3-6%, with the most pronounced benefits in the lowest-resource language tiers.
