<p>The Welsh language is regarded as the greatest inheritance of Welsh
people and a rising number of Welsh companies are now integrating it
into their business plan. With Brexit bringing an air of economic
uncertainty, 2017 is expected to see more companies from various sectors
investing in bilingualism.</p>
<p>Below are just a few examples of why adopting a Welsh language policy can help enhance your business.</p>
<p><strong><img class="gmail-wp-image-67687 gmail-aligncenter" src="http://kjgqt3z1aeft1c6c41yasj19.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/welsh.jpg" alt="" width="749" height="496">Demonstrate an understanding of the official status of the Welsh language in Wales </strong></p>
<p>Welsh is considered a distinct language dating back to the 6th
century AD, by which time Welsh speakers had made their way into what is
now Wales by the Anglo-Saxons. Ingrained within the culture of Wales,
the Welsh language signifies the history of the country, celebrating the
Welsh and their status as a community.</p>
<p>There are many organisations wanting to mainstream the use of Welsh
within their community, from the Welsh Language Commissioner to the
Chambers of Commerce and other business groups. Eager to cement social
sustainability, keeping the Welsh language alive gives focus to a
community’s values and aspirations, traditions and shared memories.</p>
<p>By joining this vision, you as a business display your consideration
for Welsh language and its effects on society, making the adoption of
Welsh much more than a marketing tactic.</p>
<p><strong>Indicate your respect for culture and community in Wales </strong></p>
<p>Brand values go a long way in the modern world of business, with
Welsh consumers relating to companies that respect their culture.
Proving that your business invests both time and money in speaking to
customers of various languages, you can show that you consider the wider
Welsh community when running your business.</p>
<p>This can be achieved through bilingual content marketing strategies; a
service that translation firm, Wolfestone provides. Getting amongst a
wider target market whilst delivering a more defined marketing message,
bilingual content boasts a long list of benefits.</p>
<p>Whether you aim to translate white papers and web content into Welsh
or want to start with a simple “Bore da” and “Prynhawn da” on the phone,
your efforts will certainly be recognised.</p>
<p><strong>Promote an attractive working environment </strong></p>
<p>Although a great deal of the benefits mentioned above surround
marketing to consumers, working with a Welsh strategy can also have a
great impact on sourcing local talent. Investing in Welsh can do wonders
for your employer brand, attracting a pool of talented Native Welsh
speakers who want to join your team.</p>
<p>If you are a Welsh business, working alongside local universities
such as UWTSD, Swansea University and Cardiff University can attract
such candidates, helping to stop the brain-drain to London.</p>
<p>If you require assistance with the implementation of a Welsh language
strategy, contact translation specialists Wolfestone today. Offering a
variety of Welsh translation services, they will be sure to help.</p><p><a href="http://businessnewswales.com/3-reasons-adopting-welsh-language-policy-can-enhance-business/">http://businessnewswales.com/3-reasons-adopting-welsh-language-policy-can-enhance-business/</a><br></p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">**************************************<br>N.b.: Listing on the lgpolicy-list is merely intended as a service to its members<br>and implies neither approval, confirmation nor agreement by the owner or sponsor of the list as to the veracity of a message's contents.
