Yes, Chinese, and in term Chinese WP, has two script used: Simplified and
Traditional Systems. The Chinese Wikipedia ( http://zh.wikipedia.org )
includes both scripts. The conversion is more difficult than Latin-Cyrillic
(sometimes many-to-one or vice versa), but to separate the two scripts into
two Wikipedias, for us, means halving the manpower, since the two scripts
are otherwise basically about the same language.
