BBC iPlayer Goes Local 08:56am on 04 Dec 2008 Also, without knowing there's a language switch option to be had on the page, sticking the 'Cymraeg' button right at the bottom of the page next to terms and conditions is not a very obvious place (+ where's the Scottish Gaelic option?).

Language buttons are usually to be had in the top right corner in bilingual / multilingual websites.
Dysgwyr: Sut mae'r Cymraeg yn mynd? 12:02pm on 03 Dec 2008 Gobeithio nad oes ots gyda ti, ond dylai;

'Gret i'w weld mae Tesco...'

fod yn

'Gret i'w weld bod Tesco...'

mae hyn wastad yn drysu dysgwyr

mae Tesco [yn]... = Tesco is....
bod Tesco... = that Tesco....

Dw i wedi clywed llawer sydd wedi defnyddio'r gwasaneth yn ei ganmol, ond dw i'n gwrthod siopa yn Tesco, felly dw i'n colli allan :-(

Good work by the way, the BBC's offeringings on-line in Welsh is excellent (too good some might say, as it's a dis-incentive for others to compete - but that's another argument!)

I've just noticed today today that the BBC now allow welsh language programes they produce for S4C to also be shown on that channel's own on-line 'watch again' service CLIC as well which is a good thing.

"Of course sites that have already established that users want to interact in Welsh can link users directly in to Welsh mode and save users from manually switching it on. Also, in a few weeks we'll be moving this selection into the user's preference settings in the BBC's Identity login system which will mean it is 'sticky' between visits."

Would it not also be an idea to use the user's browser language preference?
(on Firefox, it's Tools> Options> Content> Languages)
I've just signed up for a BBC identity login a few moments ago to post here, but didn't notice a language setting - will check again.

I think lucas42 was referring to the North of Ireland which is is part of the the UK, and i believe the number of Irish speakers there alone is greater than that of Gaelic speakers in Scotland.
