WRU Saesneg

[Pendra Mwnagl]

Es i i siop y WRU cyn y 6 gwlad i chwilio am babygro Cymru i fy merch. Yr unig beth oedd ar gael oedd un oedd yn cynnwys "MY FIRST WELSH KIT!" ar draws y ffrynt. Gofynais a oedd ganddynt rai gyda'r geiriau yn Gymraeg neu unrhyw beth arall Cymraeg i fabis. Gallwch ddyfalu beth oedd yr ymateb ...

Dyma neges a anfonais yn ddiweddar a'r ymateb:

I notice that your provision for the Welsh language is still woeful. When are you going to actually do something with this website? I made a complaint/suggestion some 6 years ago and was told that a Welsh version would be forthcoming (i noticed no dates were mentioned). 6 years is quite some time for development.

As a web developer myself, specialising in bi- and multi-lingual sites, I KNOW there is no barrier to parallel bilingual/multilingual development. I understand that database tables/folder structure/CMS pages may need to
be rebuilt - but that is a trifling matter. Many prominent Welsh institutions (as well as UK-wide ones) offer bilingual sites - it is disappointing therefore that the most famous of all institutions in Wales has all but shunned the Welsh language.

Your continued 'token gesture' pages are frankly an insult (I do not wish to be rude). Please could somebody in the Union make this a topic for discussion in the appropriate places?

I look forward to hearing from you.

I can't possibly comment on what you were told six years ago, as I have only been in this post a couple of months.
I can inform you we are actively looking to put some Welsh content on the WRU website as a matter of priority. However, as we have over 20,000 pages on the website, it will not be like for like content as we simply don't have the manpower to do that.
I promise you that hopefully within the next couple of months, there will be Welsh content on the website. We will try and get it up any sooner but we are reliant on the website designers as they have to come up with codings etc for all out stats, which is not in existence currently.
Hopefully this will be done sooner rather than later.

Kind Regards, Graeme

Dwi wedi ymateb gan ddiolch am y gwybodaeth ond wedi gwthio am gyfieithiadau o'r elfennau cyfeirio a phob erthygl 'r dyddiad maent yn mynd ati o ddifri.

Mae'n ddiddorol i nodi bod gwefan y cwmni gwe maent yn defnyddio yn ddwyieithog (Ffrangeg a Saesneg).
