Sources & methodology +

Every hour EziLens checks only sources whose own licence explicitly allows commercial use and translation — currently the European Commission (CC BY 4.0). An automatic check keeps only items that are useful or interesting for internationals living in Germany: residence and asylum, work and business, daily life. Translations and summaries are machine-made (Gemini), and an item appears only once it is translated into your language. Images and full texts are not stored. Importance is calculated deterministically; it is not a fact-check or legal advice.
