This paper investigates the prevalence and dynamics of multilingual misinformation through an analysis of over 250,000 unique factchecks spanning 95 languages. First, we find that while the majority of misinformation claims are only factchecked once, 11.7\%, corresponding to more than 21,000 claims, are checked multiple times. Using fact-checks as a proxy for the spread of misinformation, we find 33\% of repeated claims cross linguistic boundaries, suggesting that some misinformation permeates language barriers. However, spreading patterns exhibit strong homophily, with misinformation more likely to spread within the same language.},
