Abstract
Text-to-image (T2I) generation has achieved remarkable progress in recent years. However, existing research has largely focused on English-only settings, leaving cross-lingual performance gaps and language-specific effects insufficiently explored. To fill this gap, we introduce LingT2I, a benchmark covering 10 widely used languages with 33K prompts, designed to evaluate cross-lingual effects in both content generation and text rendering. Building on this benchmark, we conduct a comprehensive cross-lingual analysis, uncovering linguistic inequality and language-dependent trade-offs across evaluation dimensions. Beyond quantitative evaluation, we further reveal a range of language-dependent generation patterns, highlighting how linguistic factors and their corresponding cultural contexts systematically impact model outputs. Our benchmark and analysis provide a foundation for studying cross-lingual behavior in T2I generation and facilitate the development of more robust and inclusive models. Code and dataset are available at this https URL.
