There's also an incredible level of anglo-centric arrogance to the statement. For many non-anglophone writers around the world, there simply is no choice.
Are those people giving up on their creative integrity when they commission English translations??

In news sure to please in Quebec and Wales alike, Cรฉline Dion has announced a series of tour dates across Wales, starting with an outdoor performance at Castell Dolbadarn!
What's more, she'll be singing in Welsh! I honestly can't wait to hear her rendition of 'Bydd Fy Nghalon yn Parhau Ymlaen'...!

oooooh very nice. I've long bemoaned this gap in resources between beginner and advanced learners - which exists in most languages, but is particularly bad in languages like welsh.

Obviously, but there's also the aspect of language and we can see this affects Brits as well: having the world Lingua Franca as your native language is NOT good for you!

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

I love how English uses so many synonyms of "vote" whereas #Welsh is just like eh...a vote is a vote

The best thing to come out of this ordeal is that I've been called a "popular" creator by news outlets and even the radio

Fair point. But hopefully things are looking up for other minorities as well, with more awareness being raised and more being done. We can only wait and see (and maybe advocate, I suppose haha). Suas leis a' Ghร idhlig

Kinda interesting how Ryan Reynolds got Netflix to put Welsh subs on his random-ass films

But couldn't get Disney to put Welsh subs on his documentary about Wrexham

Unfortunately I don't speak a language that is very niche but still big enough for YouTube to support it, so it'll have to be Swedish.

I've decided to change the language of my YouTube account, so that hopefully they'll stop pushing the crap auto dubs on me.

If my language is niche enough, they probably don't have a dubbed track ready for me.

And it's not like they've started making changes to the bus routes (yet). It's the same routes that were there before the bee network was a thing.
