Japan’s public broadcaster, NHK, has begun providing Ukrainian subtitles on the live video streaming of its international service, NHK WORLD-JAPAN.

The Ukrainian subtitling is available for the 24-hour English programming streamed on NHK’s website: https://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/uk/live_cc/

The translations are generated by artificial intelligence technology. They were introduced on 2 March.

Ukrainian joins the existing AI-translated languages: Chinese (simplified/traditional), French, Indonesian, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai and Vietnamese.
