... [radio prague gopher] ...I'm not sure entirely how
"parallel" the translations are, but you can check that out.

that was a wonderful pointer. thank you.

i looked quickly at the german, english, czech and spanish versions of
the news for several days in december. the broadcasts that i looked
at are not even approximately parallel. occasionally stories appear
in more than one language, but it appears even then that the stories
are not translations of each other or even from the same source.

i think, though, that this is likely to be a wonderful source of news
in multiple languages.
