A Vatican press release announced today that its official Web site will include a section with Chinese characters, both traditional and simplified, so that «Internet users from throughout the world will be able to navigate in Chinese to access the texts of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.»
With this latest development, there will be eight languages in which one can access Vatican information: Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Latin and Chinese.
Latin, the official language of the Catholic Church, was introduced to the site on May 9, 2008.
