Automatic in-browser Ukrainian text translation and local news sources to follow
In comments on forums, Twitter, Telegram, and many other text based services, I've seen a lot of requests/demands for translations of Ukrainian and Russian language content.
There's a Mozilla Firefox add-on "Translate Web Pages" by Filipe Ps [0] available on Github [1] I've been using since the beginning of hostilities to automatically translate, and check existing English translations, of Ukrainian news web-sites, Twitter threads, etc.
Originally the Yandex engine worked but lately seems to be less useful - not sure if that is due to some interference on the Yandex side for Ukrainian translation or a side-effect of the sites I read. The Google engine continues to work reasonably.
The result sometimes needing a little mental gymnastics to help decode into a colloquial style.
Here's a few of the Ukrainian language news and mapping web sites I read:
https://liveuamap.com/en/ = really good for geo-locating stories on map with links to original sources
https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/ = natively Ukraine/Russian/English
https://www.epravda.com.ua/news/ = economic news (Special Financial Operation - SPOs - aka Sanctions!)
https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato = Natively Ukraine/Russian/English/Spanish/German/French/Japanese/Polish
https://www.5.ua/novyny/ = Channel 5 TV
https://prm.ua/news/ = Direct TV
https://censor.net/ua/news/all = Censor Net
https://war.ukraine.ua/ = Ukraine government news
https://tvzvezda.ru/ = Russian defence ministry
