Since our last update about handy handbook translations in December 2021, another bunch have been published and added to the relevant overview pages for The Conspiracy Theory Handbook, The Debunking Handbook 2020 and The COVID-19 Vaccine Communication Handbook. As most of these additions will most likely have flown under the radar, we'll highlight these handy resources to fight misinformation in this blog post. Some translations were created with the help of translators from the Skeptical Science volunteers' network while others were created independently. What ties these handbooks and their translations together is, that Skeptical Science founder John Cook has been involved with the creation of all of them, that Wendy Cook created the graphic designs, and that I'm coordinating the translations.

Here is the list of newly added translations by publication date:

The Swedish translation of The Conspiracy Theory Handbook was created by Lotten Kalenius and published on January 6, 2022.

Shortly afterwards, David Rebolo Magariños finished his translation of The Debunking Handbook 2020 into Galician which was published on January 14, 2022.

The Romanian translation of The Conspiracy Theory Handbook was created by Robert Coravu and Mihai Constantinescu and published on March 13, 2022.

The Finnish translation of The COVID-19 Vaccine Communication Handbook was created by Alisa Seppä and Anna Soveri. It was publised on August 18, 2022.

The Greek translation of The Debunking Handbook 2020 was created by Konstantinos Armaos, Theophilos, Ginopoulos, Achilleas Kokkinos, Ioannis Lois, Sophocles Muratidis, Ioanna Panagatou, Maria Plumitsakou and Amalia Tsakiri and published on August 19, 2020.

The Slovak translation of The Debunking Handbook 2020 was also created by the SCIENCE+ project and implemented by Free Press for Eastern Europe in partnership with Free Press Unlimited. It was published on November 16, 2022.

The Macedonian translation of The Debunking Handbook 2020 was also created by the Nota Bene Translation Agency, with coordination done by Jaruslav Valuch. It was published on November 20, 2022.
