Dw i ddim yn siwr os dach chi wedi darllen y stori hon? Welsh pub review was answered in Swedish!. An Aberystwyth man has spoken of his dismay after leaving a restaurant review online in Welsh - and being sent a reply in Swedish. http://www.cambrian-news.co.uk/article.cfm?id=131983

My guess is that a web server tried to guess what language it was looking at and failed. I don’t know if the Swedish comment was an automated reply, or if a person wrote something and the server automatically translated it to Swedish.
It does pose an interesting question, though. If it was identified as Swedish, then I’d guess that neither a web server or a person would know what the guy wrote. But review sites generally have an option to rate things from one to five stars, so maybe the reply was based solely on that?
Well, either that, or they wrote the Swedish equivalent of “Dwi’m yn deall be’ ddudest ti”.
