Tuesday (6th May) saw the latest update to steemit.com, introducing new functionality and updates (which I'll detail later in this post). One of which, provided us with the opportunity to contact crypto news sites in the Ukraine to announce the introduction of the Ukrainian language.
With this idea in mind, I spoke to @o1eh with a view to contacting the better known Ukrainian news outlets and he suggested incrypted.com as the most well known site - So he got in touch with them.
Fortunately, they were welcoming of the idea, so I wrote a Press Release (which was reviewed by a few key stakeholders) and translated into Ukrainian by @o1eh to fit the target site.
Once I had received confirmation that the code had been deployed and everything was working as expected, @o1eh sent the Press Release to Incrypted, which they also adjusted and published on Wednesday.
Fingers crossed we'll see a some new Ukrainian members and investors as a result of this!
I have set @o1eh as 50% beneficiary for this post
Other Items Released
More detail is available in this post
Introduction of Lightboxes (overlays / modals) for images
Increased prominence of Communities in the Primary Navigation
Fixed the Upvote bar on mobile devices
Fixed the 'Resteems' logic in a user's blog
Tags are now remembered when switching communities with a drafted post
Fixed ToS wording
Improved FAQs wording
Taking this opportunity, I would like to thank @the-gorilla on behalf of the entire Ukrainian community. Thanks to him, the implementation of Ukrainian localization became possible. I have dreamed of this event for a long time, but I did not know how to do it. Until @the-gorilla opened the door to the world of progress and positive changes 😃
I sincerely hope that thanks to the new localization, Steemit will gain many new users.

As we slowly upgrade the platform, hopefully existing users will feel more encouraged to invite their friends - or reintroduce those that had lost hope and left 🤞
This was only possible because you took the time to translate a lot of content. Hopefully other country communities will feel motivated to do the same and we can repeat this achievement.

I really the idea to remember the tags even after refreshing the page or switching to any other community.
I like the idea to make the images clickable. But when in a table more than two images are used in a row the icon on the images looks more prominent than the images. Is it possible to remove the icon from the images?

Oh wow, that looks great!
Which post is that from? I've already implemented a minimum height so could add a minimum width too.

FYI, I noticed this while working on the Steem Curation Extension:
Note how some languages have leading whitespace (Italian/Polish), and some don't have hyphen (-) characters at or near the beginning (Spanish and French). I thought you might want to standardize that.
