Most research in Relation Extraction (RE) involves the English language, mainly due to the lack of multi-lingual resources. We propose MULTI-CROSSRE, the broadest multi-lingual dataset for RE, including 26 languages in addition to English, and covering six text domains. MULTICROSSRE is a machine translated version of CrossRE (Bassignana and Plank, 2022a), with a sub-portion including more than 200 sentences in seven diverse languages checked by native speakers. We run a baseline model over the 26 new datasets and—as sanity check—over the 26 back-translations to English. Results on the back-translated data are consistent with the ones on the original English CrossRE, indicating high quality of the translation and the resulting dataset.
