02/10/2023, 1:56 PMIt's "I would" or "I wouldn't" - b

02/10/2023, 1:57 PMthats not so bad tbh... - c

02/10/2023, 1:57 PMYou can word things a bit weirdly and phrase every question as a yes/no question, which lets you get away with just 'I do' and 'I don't', but that's awkward and tends to be too long to fit - c

02/10/2023, 1:58 PMExcept when you have to fill in a different set of verbs for every dialogue in your app - i

02/10/2023, 1:58 PMso if you say "do you want to save?" you could end up with a button that legitimately means "do not want" - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 1:58 PMYes - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 1:58 PMWell - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 1:58 PMYou would word that as "Ydych chi am gadw (yr ... hwn/hon/hyn)?" - c

02/10/2023, 1:59 PMWhich is a construction for "want" that uses the verb to be - i

02/10/2023, 1:59 PMI be wanting? - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 1:59 PMSo the responses for that would be "Ydw" (I am) or "Nac ydw” (I'm not) - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 2:00 PMLiterally, it means "are you for saving?" - i

02/10/2023, 2:01 PMso, presumably you read welsh... what is your opinion about "welsh translated UIs"... are they "acceptable", it was mentioned that, for example Polish people are kinda forgiving because they get used to "shitty translations"... is that the same for welsh or is it more grating? - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 2:01 PMBut if the dialogue box was just the single word "Save?", then that would become "Cadw?", with responses "Cadw" and "Peidio â chadw" - c

02/10/2023, 2:01 PMWhen they're done well, it's great, but there's a lack of well-done translations - c

02/10/2023, 2:01 PMMicrosoft has a habit of getting the grammar subtly wrong - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 2:02 PMbut is it "alright", ie, very minor, or is it blatantly wrong and off putting (just curious really) - b

02/10/2023, 2:03 PMi asked my (Maltese) wife, and she basically said the same as was mentioned, that she doesnt even read / notice mistakes and just glosses over them - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 2:03 PMLike, they would have a dialogue box saying "Cadw'r ddogfen hon?" (Save this document?) with responses "Iawn" and "Na" (OK and No), which you can get used to but they're definitely awkward - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 2:03 PMIt's like - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 2:03 PMThere are workarounds, but they feel like workarounds - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 2:03 PMThey don't feel natural - b
bright-gpu-74537
02/10/2023, 2:03 PM> but they're definitely awkward right - that was my question i guess - c

02/10/2023, 2:05 PMWhen translated well, Welsh UIs are really nice - b

02/10/2023, 2:06 PMi mean... ill take your word for it i guess? 🙂 - c

02/10/2023, 2:06 PMOh I forgot about the other thing about plurals in Welsh - c
clever-yak-82528
02/10/2023, 2:06 PMThere's actually two coexisting and complementary plural systems
