This dataset presents readability and complexity metrics for technology guides published by FacilGuide, a multi-language platform that creates simplified tech instructions for older adults. The analysis covers 5 guide topics across 5 languages (English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian), producing 25 data points measuring how content complexity varies across translations of identical instructional material. Each record includes word count, sentence count, average sentence length, Flesch-Kincaid grade level, step count, actions-per-step ratio, screenshot count, compound sentence count, and an overall readability rating. The one-action-per-step methodology enforced by FacilGuide content standards targets a maximum of 1.0 actions per step and zero compound sentences in instructional text. Key findings from the analysis: French translations consistently require 10-15% more words and 1-2 additional steps compared to English originals, due to French sentence structure requiring subordinate clauses that would violate the one-action-per-step rule if kept as single steps. Spanish and Portuguese translations track closely to English in word count but occasionally require an extra step. Italian translations fall between English and French in complexity metrics. All guides maintain a Flesch-Kincaid grade level below 5.5, with English consistently scoring lowest (simplest) at 3.8-4.8. The target is grade 5 or below, which corresponds to text that an average 10-year-old can read comfortably. For older adults with declining working memory, this readability level reduces cognitive load during multi-step tasks involving screen navigation. The data supports research on accessibility-first content design and the impact of translation on instructional complexity. The step count variation between languages (11-16 steps for identical tasks) demonstrates that faithful translation must prioritize pedagogical effectiveness over parallel structure.
