British Council Considers Welsh


If we are to believe this the British Council has at last woken up to its bilingual 'Britishness" role. We shall see.

Thank you for your interest in the work of British Council Wales.

I have forwarded your enquiry to our Communications Officer Suma
Krishnamurthy who will be able to tell you if a Welsh translation is
available on our work in Europe.

If a Welsh translation is currently unavailable, it would be possible to
provide you one within a reasonable time, allowing sufficient time for
translation.

If you would like to contact Suma Krishnamurthy personally you can do so
via email at suma.krishnamurthy@britishcouncil.org.

Kind regards,

Katherine

On May 8th 2008 The Welsh Assembly Government put a statutory order forcing the British Council to provide a Welsh Language Scheme and to comply fully with the Welsh Language Act. British at last boys!
