[DTV]

I don't watch either enough to know but do France 24 or DW explain certain terms or geography of their respective countries of origin to international viewers like the BBC have in the past week or so?

DW certainly does this a lot where the official English translation is somewhat confusing or non self-explanatory - state heads of government are officially Minister-Presidents, but referred to by DW as state premiers; parliamentary parties are referred to as such or as parliamentary groups, rather than the more literal 'faction' or 'fraction'. Where German terms are typically used in English, they'll typically give a neutral descriptor on first mention before switching to the German for the second mention - e.g. armed services and then Bundeswehr. It's fairly common for non-US international broadcasters to do this, which is why I don't understand why a few words in certain story introductions are such an issue for certain people.
