"Niemand liest die Zeitung."

Translation: No one reads the newspaper.

This sentence is so true. Hello, internet.

Why 'die Zeitung' translates to 'that Newspaper' and 'this gazette'?

[wataya]

Because 'die' can also be a demonstrative pronoun. But I think it's not a good idea to present these translations to learners. It's confusing. From the written sentence you can't distinguish the article 'die' from the demonstrative pronoun and taking it to be an article is by far the more natural interpretation.

Would ''Niemand liest DER Zeitung'' be ok here ?

[razorstorm]

Well Zeitung is feminine, and this is the accusative case so the proper article would be die.

[wataya]

no, it's wrong.
