Which is mostly helpful if you only want news from places that fit your
personal lamguage set. But if I want news from eg. Mozambique, and
I don't read Portuguese or any of their Bantu languages, I expect
to be offered something from neighboring countries in English
or Swahili, not a garbled half paragraph hauled off the wire by
some hack half a planet away.
I remember using Google search, in English, for odd items and when
the second page of results turned to Polish and Hungarian Google
would kindly offer that if I wanted results only in English I could
specify that. I haven't seen that message in a while. I didn't send
it away, tho' I should have, since Google at the same time offered
to translate for me.
I'll blame it on Google's dumbing down of the internet,
it's no longer a thinking man's tool.
