  December 28, 2016 TO ALL CONGREGATIONS Re: One Study Edition of The Watchtower in Languages Other Than English

  Dear Brothers:

  For several years, the simplified edition of The Watchtower has been produced in French,

  Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. The Governing Body has decided that only one study edition will

  be translated into these languages. Therefore, the last simplified edition in French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish will be the issue of May 2017. In the future, simpler language will be used in the

  study edition of The Watchtower.

  We send our warm Christian love.

  Your brothers,

  I tried to submit a new post for this letter, but the site wouldn't let me. Sorry.

  I don't think they have been very clear here. I think they are saying that for those languages specifically mentioned the only edition they will print is the simplified edition but instead of calling it simplified they will just refer to it as the study edition.
