Automatically translating the roadworks description free-form text into Welsh when users access the Causeway map via a Welsh-language website would be highly beneficial for several reasons:
Improved User Experience – Ensuring roadwork descriptions are available in Welsh enhances accessibility for Welsh-speaking users, providing a seamless and intuitive experience.
Compliance with Language Standards – Supporting bilingualism aligns with the Welsh Language Standards, reinforcing a commitment to providing public services in both English and Welsh.
Consistency Across Platforms – If other parts of the website are already available in Welsh, untranslated roadwork descriptions could create an inconsistent user experience.
Inclusivity and Accessibility – Welsh-speaking users, particularly those with limited English proficiency, would be able to access important travel information in their preferred language.
Potential Legal and Policy Benefits – Aligning with Welsh Government policies on language inclusion could help ensure compliance with regulations and public sector expectations.
