[Imc-wales] [Imc-uk-process] PROPOSAL: promotion guidelines

[Genny]

For the imc-wales group, this is a discussion about posts without english translation on the uk 
newswire.

Hi

Read the below with interest.

There was some discussion at the Wales meeting on Saturday about the issue of posts in Welsh which 
may arrive without a translation, either with just Wales ticked or with UK too.

The discussion was around the availability of people to translate every Welsh post and their 
inclination (or not!) to do so.  We said that we would try and encourage people to post at least a 
summary in English at time of publishing, and where possible this would be added to posts without 
one, but there was a suggestion that it might become a pain to translate/summarise every post in 
Welsh.  There would definitely be a commitment to check each and every post to make sure it meets 
the editorial guidelines, but is it imperative that every post in Welsh should be translated?  Welsh 
is an "official" language of the UK... and I can't imagine that we'd ever be able to offer the same 
service in reverse.  I just mention this here for discussion as we will have to decide on a policy 
at some point.

Cheers

Genny
