arXiv:2606.26466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multilingual large language models often produce inconsistent reasoning and answers for semantically equivalent prompts in different languages. Prior work suggests that intermediate representations can be relatively language-agnostic, but generation becomes increasingly language-specific as models commit to discrete output tokens. This is problematic because language-specific lexical choices can cause semantically equivalent reasoning paths to diverge across languages. These divergences motivate searching for a cross-lingual alignment signal that
