US AI firm Anthropic enables Chinese-language options for Claude chatbot

US artificial intelligence company Anthropic has introduced Chinese-language options to its Claude chatbot in supported markets, even as it continues to block users from mainland China.

Checks by the South China Morning Post on Thursday confirmed that Claude’s web interface now lets users select simplified and traditional Chinese as their preferred on-screen language.

China also briefly appeared as a billing country option before disappearing from the settings.
