  • TLDR:Reasoning traces improve large language models (LLMs), but current models are trained to reason mostly in English. It has been shown that forcing a model to reason in another language degrades accuracy, even when the reasoning language matches the language of the prompt -- but only for a setting where the model reasons over a short prompt. Here, we ask whether the same holds for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), where the model must read and integrate a large amount of retrieved evidence in the target language. To study this, we build a fully monolingual German RAG question-answering testb
