Show HN: Breaking Language Barriers: Read the News as It's Told (ilmondo.live)
2 points by matzapata 73 days ago | hide | past | favorite
As a digital nomad, I’ve been to places like Turkey, Serbia, Montenegro, Thailand, and Russia. One big hassle? Finding reliable local news and translating them into something I could actually read. I missed so much—like protests shutting down cities in Turkey or big election drama in Serbia. And don’t get me started on staying informed about Russia right now.

But it’s not just a problem for travelers. Even if you don’t travel, language barriers make it way too easy for media to control which stories you see. Want to know what Russia says about Ukraine? Or how local media in Thailand covers global events? Without access to diverse sources, you’re stuck with whatever narrative is being pushed your way.

That’s why I built ilmondo.live. It grabs news from around the world and translates it into English, Spanish, German, and Russian (for now). More languages, sources, categories? Just ask!

The goal: make global news easy to access and read, without filters. You can even save your favorite countries and check updates while you sip your coffee.
