Downing Street embraces multilingual internet
The website for number 10 Downing Street has just launched a new foreign language section. Visitors to the site are now able to access a selection of information on the British Government in a variety of different languages.
The new addition includes sections on both the present day cabinet and its history, Gordon Brown’s biography, a list of current ministers, a history of the famous building and a full list of prime ministers up to the present day including biographies, facts and figures.
The PM’s website currently has sections in Arabic, French, Italian and Spanish and there are plans for other languages to come soon including Welsh and Portuguese.
