What bilingual actually requires

Every page needs a Welsh equivalent, the switch between them has to be obvious and consistent, and links must take the reader to the matching page rather than dumping them back at the start.

Contact forms, confirmation messages, error text and email replies are the parts usually left in English, and they are exactly where a bilingual site is judged.

Translation quality matters. A poor translation is worse than none, because it reads as having been done unwillingly.

Deciding how far to go

A business that cannot maintain two full versions is better served by a smaller bilingual site than a large half-translated one.

Being honest — a Welsh summary and Welsh-speaking staff, say — is respected more than an abandoned attempt at everything.

Bangor's education and healthcare employment, and tourism from Snowdonia and Anglesey, each bring quite different customers.

Questions people here ask

What makes a bilingual site genuine?

Matching pages both ways, an obvious switch, and Welsh in the forms, confirmations and replies — not just the main pages.

Is a partial attempt worse than none?

Frequently. A half-translated site reads as reluctance, where an honest Welsh summary reads as respect.

Does it actually affect business?

Here, yes. It signals that you belong to the community rather than simply trading in it, which customers notice.
