Hello @martin-chatfield
That is amazing It is great to see google using welsh into their recaptcha system it is an important step for making it easier for welsh speakers online.
The addition of welsh language support for time inputs in Microsoft Windows is also a lovely touch for people who want to communicate online in Welsh.
My work computer is set to Welsh, and it doesn’t half confuse the tech team if I need help with an issue!
Also, for those of you that have Windows, you can add “Cysgliad” as a plug-in so you can have a really top-class spelling and grammar checker on Word, Outlook, etc. (What I particularly like about the grammar checker is it tells you why things might need to be changed, so it’s helped me improve my mutations etc in formal writing.) www.cysgliad.com/en
Also for Windows, the “To Bach” plug-in is brilliant for creating accents: ISL - To Bach
I am not brave enough yet to switch my whole system to a language I don’t entirely understand - it could go badly if I need to fix anything and my English tech support (father) can’t help.
However, you may find this useful. It appears to be a comprehensive guide to all Linux software avaliable in Cymraeg:
Thanks. I’m definitely not ready to switch my OS to Cymraeg either. I did download the language pack for Libre Office a while back and I want to do the same for Firefox.
That’s a useful list - Cysill Ar-lein looks particularly helpful.
I switched Windows into Welsh a while ago, and it wasn’t as strange as I feared, and is very easy to switch back. The only problem is that it can be a bit patchy - not everything seems to be in Welsh. In fact I then went on to switch my google account into Welsh, and although I don’t remember doing it Iplayer seems to be partly in Welsh now also. Unfortunately Android doesn’t offer Welsh as a system language. All of these little thing help my brain to stay in Welsh a little longer whilst picking up the odd new word of vocabulary.
If you scroll right down to the bottom, past the programmes that you couldn’t possibly be interested in, there are location and language options there.
