Translated Foreign News at "WatchingAmerica"

"WatchingAmerica" translates into
English a variety of foreign news sources on
events relating to the U.S. The site also
includes foreign multimedia content for
some postings.

More information from the Watching
America web site:

"It is not our purpose to find favorable or unfavorable
news and commentary, but to reflect as accurately as
possible how others perceive the richest and most
powerful country in the world. WatchingAmerica makes
available in English articles written about the U.S. by
foreigners, often for foreign audiences, and often in other
languages. Since WatchingAmerica offers its own
translations, regular users of our site will be able to
enjoy articles that are not available in English anywhere
else... In addition, by integrating the latest translation
technology into the site, visitors are able to surf all of the
content of foreign-language news outlets at the push of
a button - in English. "
