Native speakers of Welsh, take heed!
Orange has announced that a Welsh-language version of the
Samsung S5600 will be made available in September. This would make it the first cellphone to handle the language, which has some 600,000 native speakers in Wales. The phone will contain 44,000 Welsh words, and was recently unveiled in Bala, Gwynedd. Also unveiled simultaneously was the first Welsh
iPhone app, developed with English-speakers learning the language in mind, and will have a companion "Learn Welsh" phrasebook available in the iTunes store. Iechyd Da!
Been using the iPhone app for a little while now, after studying at a welsh uni, it's nice to have a simple way to learn the basic phrases! Definitely recommend it, especially for 99cents/59p.
Well, cusanu fy asen, it's about time!
Da iawn !
