RE: https://fosstodon.org/@kev/116268729558859927
Can anyone help @kev with a welsh translation for his blogging software?
I've check and if someone is happy to put together a translation pack, he's happy to support it.

Good drama; enjoyed, solid 8/10⭐ on IMDB from me.
But I'm puzzled.
You could just do "a production in Welsh."
Or you could portray a Welsh speaking community in the drama, complete with code switching when appropriate.
But this is definitely set in Newport, not a Welsh speaking city. Plus there seems less use of English than would be realistic.
So is something being conveyed by that choice that I'm missing?

The Hobbit takes a Welsh twist at Morriston Library
Adam Pearce will be talking about how he translated JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit into Welsh for the first time at two events – one in Welsh, the other in English at 1pm and 2pm, respectively.
Translated as Yr Hobyd, The Hobbit tells of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Middle Earth, dragons, treasure and a ring of gold and Adam Pearce brings it all to life through the medium of Welsh.
To go along to the event on Saturday, you must book free tickets by calling 01792 516770 or by emailing [email protected]
Elliott King, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture and Equalities, said: “Any fan of a book that was already legendary before the amazing films brought it to an even wider audience, will want to find out more about how Adam translated The Hobbit into Welsh.
“The Hobbit has already been translated into many languages, from Dutch and Latin to Esperanto and Faroese, but never into Welsh. So to have Adam at one of our libraries discussing how and why he did it, is quite a coup.”
AdvertisementAdam has previously translated H.G. Wells into Welsh and works by T. Gwynn Jones and Daniel Owen from Welsh into English.
His translation of The Hobbit has been prepared in accordance with J.R.R. Tolkien’s own instructions for translators of his work and officially licenced by the Tolkien Estate.
Included are J.R.R. Tolkien’s original illustrations and new Welsh versions of the two maps featured in the original novel.

Anyone else watching Cleddau? It’s another one of those dark Welsh dramas that S4C does so well. It’s on the iPlayer & I highly recommend it (if you’re OK with subtitles)

The next Celtic Studies Summer School at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies will be held July 14-25, 2025. Registration opens October 1, 2024. I attended the 2008 school and it was absolutely amazing. This will be a wonderful experience for anyone able to attend. #CelticStudies #OldIrish #MiddleWelsh #IrishLanguage #WelshLanguage #CelticLanguages #Academia #SummerSchool https://www.dias.ie/2024/07/05/celtic-studies-summer-school-2025/

A Tory Lord has been sharply criticised for claiming there is almost "linguistic fascism" in parts of Wales.
Lord Moylan said language can be used as "a tool for promoting nationalist sentiment".

We found some #welshlanguage #ladybirdbooks the other day in a #secondhand bookshop.
I never knew that these even existed and glad to have got some.

I'm not sure if it's a break-through, or not. I'm a Welsh language beginner (for the last six months) Yesterday I was writing a note to someone and suddenly realised I'd written one of the words in Welsh!

In Welsh, ‘dd’ makes something like the voiced English ‘th’ sound.
I just discovered that this is the infinitive of the verb ‘ironing’.
And omfg. That is all.
