Why Welsh matters

530K+

people speak Welsh

Welsh is an official language in Wales, with legal status equal to English in public life. The Welsh Government aims to reach one million Welsh speakers by 2050, so demand for Welsh-language services keeps growing.

Reach Welsh speakers wherever they are

Supporting Welsh lets you serve customers across Wales, especially in strongholds like Gwynedd and Anglesey, and meet the expectations of public bodies that work in both Welsh and English.

Welsh with a side of English? Handled.

People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Welsh speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.

Use cases

What teams build with Welsh transcription

Whatever you're building, Welsh shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.

Meeting assistants

Public bodies in Wales hold bilingual meetings with Welsh and English speakers in the same room, so notes need to capture both languages.

Meeting assistants →

Contact centers (CCaaS)

Welsh Language Standards require many organizations in Wales to offer phone services in Welsh, and those calls need the same QA as English ones.

CCaaS →

Voice agents

Welsh words change their first letter through mutation, so Caerdydd becomes yng Nghaerdydd, and voice agents need to recognize the place anyway.

Voice agents →

Media & content

Welsh-language broadcaster S4C and BBC Radio Cymru produce a steady flow of shows that need subtitles and searchable archives.
