Well....yeah.
ARD's takes it's nightly 8 PM news.."Tagesschau".....then translates it into "in einfacher Sprache" (basically 3rd-to-6th grade-level simple language).
So you can imagine....someone 'drafted'/selected from the team....who has the 15-minute news piece, and spending probably two to three hours....working the wording/graphics around...to give to a 'new' resident of Germany....in simple language.
Yes...simple basic sentences....no fancy words. The bars/graphs....explained like you were talking to a kid. Then giving a kid-like description of details.
Could you download the actual word-text from the Tagesschau in your home-language, and get a 4-star translation (without the child-like narrative)? Yeah.
Personally....I wish they'd do this with the German crime-show dramas, and have someone whittle the 90-minute crime-drama to 20 sentences....so the confusion was less over-all.
