New LDS Maps Available in 16 Languages

The meetinghouse locator service, LDS Maps, provided through LDS.org, Mormon.org, and maps.lds.org, is now available in 16 languages.

The service, which allows anyone to search on the Internet for the nearest Latter-day Saint place of worship, is available in Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.

Current search options allow visitors to search for the nearest place and times of worship by entering an address or by identifying a location on a map. Additional contact information, including phone numbers, unit information, and driving directions, is also available through links to specific unit Web sites.

Visitors can also find more information regarding language-specific wards and branches, student wards, and young single adult units.

The meetinghouse locator was first available online to residents in the United States and Canada in May 2001. Worldwide coverage was made available in August 2008, and translation into 16 languages was released in December 2008.
