Official Swans Website Not in Welsh 14:57 - Oct 16 with 11506 viewswestwalesed

I know there are some on here who don't see the value in the Welsh language, but the official website can be translated into Mandarin, but not Welsh, which is an official language of the United Kingdom and needless to say spoken by many, many, people as a first language particularly in west Wales. I think this is an utter disgrace.

I e-mailed the Digital Media Manager over the weekend, and this was the reply I have received today:

"Hi Edward

Many thanks for your email.

We have a Mandarin button on the site purely for our sponsor LeTou. We are currently translating the swansdirect.com store into Welsh as well as Spanish but with the main website we are unlikely to translate this into any other language. As when I have analysed traffic and usage it really doesn’t warrant any other translations.

Thanks again for your email

Beccy Symmons"


Surely this can't be right??????

Rotten b'stard.

I was going to tell Jase and Stevie boy I was related to Cyril and Cybil the Swan and offer to do the translations using that method, for the very cheap and reasonable price of just £2,000.

"It's a deal. It's a steal. It's sale of the century Jase. Robbing myself Jase honestly, but I'll struggle by as the club is for the fans."

Want a job as my assistant.
£1800 a week?

If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.

There are Welsh born people who prefer to use a variety of languages, such as Polish or Arabic, as their first language.

Why are they not able to access the site in their mother tongue?


Love how nobody has an answer to this.

540,000 people in the country speak Polish

562,000 speak Welsh.

So surely the site should be translated in polish as well?

No relevant news off the club most days.

Nothing whatsoever to translate from the Trust

Reckon we should be finished in about 4 hrs for the week. Wages and output to rival Jenkins and the majority of politicians

Polish isn't an official language in Wales, but as it happens I wouldn't be upset if the website was available in Polish.

because that's a flawed argument - how many of those Polish speakers were born outside Wales and only moved here for work and have no connection to Swansea City?

You can guarantee that more Welsh speakers follow SCFC than Polish or Arabic speakers.

Roughly how many would that be? Welsh speaking swansea supporters who want to read the website in Welsh and actually give a ph ck?

This is why some cannot see it your small and single minded way.

Culture evolves and should not be engineered. If it is, it's doomed to failure!

The language had its day. If there are some who wish to continue to speak, great! But to attempt to force business and people to use , communicate and speak is silly. It will survive on its own merits and nothing else.

You'd be better off learning a formal specification or programming language than you would Welsh.

Why should it matter how many?

Welsh has been spoken in this country for many centuries and is still spoken by over half a million people. The language is not going anywhere, despite what many people on here would like, Swansea City is a Welsh football club and correspondence from the club should be made available in the National language.

Yma o hyd.

I'm sure most people would like to make up their own mind. It's called a choice.

If the club want to have that version it should be their choice to publish and maintain that version. Not a minority group of customers who, I'd argue that the majority of wouldn't give a ph ck as they can get the info anyway. It's a big waste of our clubs time and money. You might not lik that, but it is what it is.

F it's that important why don't you make a Welsh version, sell some advertising and become self financing? Nice little project for you.

I disagree, it shouldn’t be the choice of the club, it should be the choice of the customer.

It would cost the club next to nothing.

You can disagree as much as you want but it is their choice and it should be. A business will live and die by its products, services and customer relations. A customer cannot force anything with a business but it can choose to procure those products and services. That's a choice!

You wouldn't go to BMW and demand they make you a Jaguar!

Tiny minority of Swansea people do not nor do not want to learn Welsh. They red more concerned about day to day living than crawling around in the pit of historical sentimental crap.


English is our lingua Franca .


I s suggest most of this anti English sentiment is from small town Wales with a Welsh speaking background. And that s fine ,but don't bite the hand that feeds


Swansea is a team in the English pyramid system. Always will be

What a load if utter nonsense.

This is nothing to do with being anti English. I love all people including the English!

Why should people not have the right to access information about a Welsh football club in Welsh? Why does that bother you so much?
