English term or phrase: language complications
Buenas noches,

La consulta a continuación es porque no estoy seguro si la palabra consultada, valga la redundancia, está mal escrita:

Because the tests associated with these programs are intended to measure trends in literacy achievement for cross-country comparisons, they require long-term development processes, local ++language complications++ and complex scaling/scoring procedures.

Additionally, every one of these assessments requires basic reading ability (i.e., the assessment is based on passage reading), which may limit the usefulness and appropriateness for measuring early grade reading skills in developing countries (due to major floor effects).

Desde ya, agradezco sus aportes.

No creo que sea un error tipográfico, sino que cada zona lingüística tiene su complejidad o su idiosincrasia...

Saludos cordiales.

complicaciones del idioma local


Explanation:
Este término se refiere a la dificultad para aprender el idioma ya sea por gramática, pronunciación, etc.
Cuando se hace una comparación de idiomas y se evaluan los puntos anteriores se determina la cantidad de tiempo requerido para aprenderlo, supongo que ese término hace referencia a ello.
