We check translation length before scoring to detect cut-off or nearly empty texts.

Four models account for ~85% of the texts cut off part-way: Widn AI Tower Vesuvius, Apertus-8B-2509, Widn AI Tower Anthill and AI21 Jamba Large 1.7.

From TartuNLP, we got one text cut off part-way in each of its seven languages, so we scored all seven translations.
