Foreign Language Services
The "dpa World News Service" gives German news stories in English, Spanish, and Arabic. The English service is produced in Berlin, the Spanish services in Buenos Aries and Madrid, and the Arabic service from Cairo.
In 2008 it was announced that starting in Spring 2009 the dpa would be providing a dual-language service in Turkish and German. The service was started so that the German media can "provide information for Turkish speaking citizens living in Germany." The service was abandoned after only nine months.

They hold the glaze of wonder in their stare
Our crooked backs, hands fetid as old herbs,
The tallow eyes, wax face, the foreign hair!”
