When Asterix speaks Chinese

Have you read Ast?rix in a Chinese, Korean, or Arabic translation?

If so, I was wondering what do they with the Latin phrases? Some other translations leave them in Latin as in the original but I was wondering what cultures that are outside Europe and don't have any referent for Latin would do. Do they translate them into the target language or into another high status and dead language?

(I've looked around a fair bit but can't find anything that I can read on this, not knowing any dialect of Chinese, Korean or Arabic.)
