Foreign language questions are a problematic type of question that usually ask for translations into or from a foreign language to English.

They are often a hallmark of bad quizbowl because they are inherently not pyramidal and often have issues with listing all potential full and accurate translations.

Questions on specific foreign languages and other linguistic aspects are far more likely to be pyramidal and seen in good quizbowl.
