To follow news from several countries in English, or in your own language, you can read local sites with your browser's translation, use a feed reader that translates articles, switch a news aggregator such as Google News between country editions, or have a briefing like Avos read local-language news per country and write one summary in your language.
This guide is for anyone whose world doesn't stop at one border: people living abroad or with family elsewhere, analysts covering a region, exporters watching their markets. If your language isn't English, check which languages each option translates into, because they differ: the table below lists them. Full disclosure: Avos is our product. Facts about the other tools come from their own help and pricing pages, linked so you can check them.
What are the ways to read foreign news in your language?
Translate in the browser. Chrome, Edge and Safari all have built-in page translation:
- Chrome can offer to translate pages with Google Translate, into the language you choose, and translate some languages automatically every time (Chrome Help).
- Microsoft Edge offers to translate pages that aren't in your preferred languages. You pick the target in "Translate to", which defaults to Edge's display language, and can tick "Always translate from" a language (Microsoft Support).
- Safari on a Mac shows a Translate button when a page can be translated; you choose a language, and adding languages to your preferred list adds them to the menu where a translation exists. Apple notes that availability "may vary by country or region" (Apple Support).
You read the full article from the local site itself. The work is yours: you visit each site, every day, and decide what matters.
Use a feed reader that translates. Subscribe to local outlets' RSS feeds and translate the articles as they arrive. Inoreader says it translates between about 50 languages, both as the source and the target. Free accounts can translate 10 articles a day; on Pro, manual translation has no daily cap and a rule can translate up to 100 new articles a day. Pro costs €6.67 a month billed annually, or €8.99 billed monthly (pricing). Feedly's Multilingual AI takes one search in English, finds stories in 15 languages and removes duplicates across them; its help page says "All articles are automatically translated into English" and names no other target language, or which plans include it, so check Feedly's pricing page.
Switch editions in a news aggregator. Google News lets you set a language and region in its settings when you're signed in, and in the app you can "Pick up to 2 languages and places of interest" (Google News Help). The help page doesn't mention translation, so you read each edition in its own language, or pair it with browser translation.
Have a briefing written for you. An AI briefing reads the local coverage itself and writes a summary in your language, so you only open the original when you want to. That is what Avos does, explained below.

How does Avos write foreign news in your language?
Avos builds a personal newsletter from sections, and each section reads the feeds you give it. Three settings make it work across languages:
- Sources in any language. A section can read curated topics, any RSS feed and other sources in whatever language they're published in.
- A news search per country. A news search has its own language and region, so one section can search the news in Japanese for Japan and the next in Portuguese for Brazil.
- The language it's written in. A briefing can be written in around 50 languages, chosen per newsletter or per section, independent of the language you use the site in.
The Avos site and its emails come in 9 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Greek, Indonesian and Brazilian Portuguese.
Limits, honestly. Avos writes a summary from the articles; it doesn't translate them word for word. AI-written summaries can miss nuance or occasionally misstate a detail. Each item links to the original article, in its original language, so check anything you'll act on, with browser translation if you need it.
What does a multi-country setup look like?
Say you work across Europe, Asia and Latin America and want the economy and politics of five countries before 8:00, in English. One section per country, each with one news search in that country's language and region:
| Section | News search | Language | Region | Written in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | Bundesregierung Wirtschaft | German | Germany | English |
| France | gouvernement économie | French | France | English |
| Japan | 日本 経済 政府 | Japanese | Japan | English |
| Brazil | governo economia | Portuguese | Brazil | English |
| Indonesia | pemerintah ekonomi | Indonesian | Indonesia | English |
Give every section the same filter, such as "National politics and the economy only; skip sport and celebrity news", the format Headlines with descriptions and the timeframe Last 24 hours. Each section skips stories it sent you in recent issues, and a country with a quiet day reads short. A reader in Warsaw can keep the same five searches and set the newsletter to Polish.
How do you set it up in Avos?
- Describe it to the AI editor: "Every morning, the main economy and politics news from Germany, France, Japan, Brazil and Indonesia, one section per country, from local-language sources, written in English." Or start from The Daily Brief and add country sections.
- Check each news search's language and region in the section's Feeds settings, and add RSS feeds of outlets you trust from the built-in directory, which includes major newspapers and broadcasters in many languages. Turn your RSS feeds into a daily email briefing walks through it.
- Set the language in the newsletter's settings, or per section.
- Schedule it daily, on chosen weekdays or monthly, at your time and in your timezone, and generate an issue now to preview it.
When is another option the better choice?
- You want the whole article. Browser translation gives you every word of the local story. Avos gives you a summary and a link.
- You process every item. If each article from your feeds matters, a reader with translation, such as Inoreader, keeps you in control. Our Avos and Feedly comparison covers where a reader is stronger.
- You want to see each country's front page. A Google News edition shows what local editors lead with; a briefing shows what matches your filter.
- You need it the minute it's published. Avos arrives once per edition.
FAQ
Does Avos translate the articles?
Not word for word. It reads the articles in their original language and writes a summary in the language you choose, with a link to each original. AI summaries can miss nuance, so for anything important, read the original with your browser's translation.
Which languages can an Avos briefing be written in?
Around 50, from Arabic, Chinese and Hindi to Swahili, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. You choose per newsletter, and a section can override it.
Can each section follow a different country?
Yes. Each news search has its own language and region, so a newsletter can have one section per country, all written in the same language.
Is the Avos website in my language?
The site and its emails are in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Greek, Indonesian and Brazilian Portuguese. Briefings can be written in many more.
