Creating digital services that truly serve bilingual communities requires more than translation—it demands understanding, expertise, and a commitment to inclusive design.
Why Language Matters in Digital Design
Too often, digital platforms are created with only one language in mind. This can marginalise communities and create barriers to access — especially in Wales, where Welsh is a living, legislatively protected language.
Our Work Ensures that:
- Users can engage in Welsh or English with equal ease
- Technology respects bilingual requirements set out in law
- Public trust is strengthened through inclusive, localised design
Real-World Applications
We've supported a wide range of organisations in Wales and beyond — including local authorities, educational bodies, and software vendors — to make their platforms more linguistically accessible.
This includes:
- Bilingual web applications
- Welsh-language planning portals
- Multilingual HR and education systems
- Tools that align with Welsh Language Standards
To Bach: A Simple Tool with Big Impact
Alongside our enterprise-grade solutions, we've also developed tools like To Bach, which is now used by over 100,000 people across Wales to type Welsh characters easily on Windows computers. It's just one example of how small utilities can make a big difference in daily language use.
