Re: Windows in Welsh
World would be alot simpler if we just all spoke the same language. Personally I just see it as a total waste of time, although I guess I can understand why some people think its important to preserve their native language.

Re: Windows in Welsh
Well us Welsh really needed to save the language as it was sadly dying out.
So nice one Bill. at least a few more people may now learn the language. Sadly I speak for myself as although part Welsh I don't speak it!! 
Just had a horrible thought there is enough confusion with the differing windows now, can you imagine the tec help desk, hold on whilst I get my welsh frase book! lol
