Robot foundation models are trained and evaluated predominantly in English, and robot demonstration corpora do not exist for most languages. We study the addition of Greek to an open vision-language-action stack using only machine-rephrased instructions and no architecture changes. The main challenge is measurement rather than translation. Several plausible instruments produce false conclusions: a color-histogram metric rewards noise, a single-goal benchmark scores 84.6% under correct Greek and 82.6% under deliberately wrong instructions, training loss fails to predict Greek success, and singl
