Introduction

In this section you will find useful information for translators and others who work in the field of translation and bilingualism.

The Welsh Language Board provides support for anyone wishing to operate bilingually - visit its website, or contact the Linkline – 0845 6076070. For guidance on how to introduce the Welsh language into the your workplace/business please refer to the Advice section on their website.

Canolfan Bedwyr is located at the Univeristy of Wales Bangor and it is here that the Welsh spellchecker, CySill is developed as well as other on-line language aids, CysGair and Y Termiadur. Visit the Canolfan Bedwyr website for information on current projects. Please refer to English/Welsh Terminology for developments in this field.

A list of Basic Bibliography for Translation Units is provided.

Translators and others who have been compiling vocabularies are welcome to contribute to our lists of terms or names. Lists will be included under Vocabularies. As a starting point we include a vocabulary which Berwyn Prys Jones has compiled over the years.

If you register with welsh-termau-cymraeg you will be able to join the Welsh language daily discussion of terms and access its archive.

In due course we hope to compile a comprehensive database on the location of simultaneous translation equipment, which will include detailed information about various equipment and hiring terms. [If you are considering buying simultaneous translation equipment, contact the two companies named in the section who provide systems throughout Wales and further afield.

We have also included Background Bibliography which is a valuable source of information about volumes and articles on translation and bilingualism.

Your contribution to this collection of valuable resources would be welcomed. Please send us any information you might have on language aids, publications or articles.
