Translate the text from English to Welsh.



 
Last November, as part of my update on The Future of Welsh Law programme, I informed you that we’d taken a major step towards ensuring that users can access Welsh laws in up\-to\-date form in both languages on legislation.gov.uk. I also promised to keep Members updated on our progress.


Our initial focus has been on bringing the Acts and Measures passed by the Senedd since 2007 fully up to date in both languages. I am pleased to report that nearly 80% of the English language texts, and just over 66% of the Welsh language texts, of primary legislation are now updated. This is significant progress, particularly in respect of the Welsh language texts as none of these had been updated before our project began.


There are over 6,000 Welsh Statutory Instruments, of which about 68% have not been amended and do not require updating. However, changes over many years to the remaining 32% still leaves a substantial amount of editorial work, and in recent weeks work has begun on applying the Welsh language amendments to these texts. We have already tackled about 5% of the amendments that need to be applied but I anticipate it will take a number of years to bring the backlog down.


Our approach to tackling that backlog will be to ensure that the most recently made instruments are kept up to date first, before we work backwards towards the oldest instruments.  However, we are also working on the most frequently viewed items of legislation on legislation.gov.uk as well as discrete projects. As an example, updating all of the Acts and Statutory Instruments relating to the “renting homes” legislation is a priority.


I will continue to update Members on the progress of this work, including in the annual report on the programme to improve the accessibility of Welsh law, which will be laid before the Senedd later this year.

Fis Tachwedd diwethaf, fel rhan o'm diweddariad ar raglenDyfodol Cyfraith Cymru, rhoddais wybod i chi ein bod wedi cymryd cam mawr tuag at sicrhau bod defnyddwyr yn gallu cael mynediad at gyfreithiau Cymru ar ffurf gyfoes yn y ddwy iaith ar deddfwriaeth.co.uk. Fe wnes i hefyd addo rhoi diweddariad ar y gwaith i’r Aelodau.


Ein ffocws cychwynnol fu sicrhau bod y Deddfau a'r Mesurau a basiwyd gan y Senedd ers 2007 wedi eu diweddaru’n llwyr, yn y ddwy iaith. Rwy'n falch o adrodd bod bron i 80% o destunau Saesneg deddfwriaeth sylfaenol, ac ychydig dros 66% o'r testunau Cymraeg, bellach wedi eu diweddaru. Mae hyn yn gynnydd sylweddol, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â'r testunau Cymraeg gan nad oedd yr un ohonynt wedi'u diweddaru cyn i'n prosiect ddechrau.


Mae dros 6,000 o Offerynnau Statudol Cymru, ond nid yw tua 68% ohonynt wedi eu diwygio felly nid oes angen eu diweddaru. Fodd bynnag, mae newidiadau dros nifer o flynyddoedd i'r 32% sy'n weddill yn dal i adael cryn dipyn o waith golygyddol, ac yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf mae gwaith wedi dechrau ar gymhwyso'r diwygiadau Cymraeg i'r testunau hyn. Rydym eisoes wedi gwneud rhyw 5% o'r diwygiadau y mae angen eu dangos ond rwy'n rhagweld y bydd yn cymryd nifer o flynyddoedd leihau’r gwaith sydd wedi cronni.


Ein dull o fynd i'r afael â'r gwaith sydd wedi cronni fydd sicrhau bod yr offerynnau a wnaed yn fwyaf diweddar yn cael eu diweddaru'n gyntaf, cyn i ni weithio’n ôl tuag at yr offerynnau hynaf.  Fodd bynnag, rydym hefyd yn gweithio ar yr eitemau deddfwriaeth y mae pobl yn edrych arnynt amlaf ar legislation.gov.uk, yn ogystal â phrosiectau unigol. Er enghraifft, mae diweddaru'r holl Ddeddfau ac Offerynnau Statudol sy'n ymwneud â'r ddeddfwriaeth "rhentu cartrefi" yn flaenoriaeth.


Byddaf yn parhau i ddiweddau’r Aelodau ar y gwaith hwn, gan gynnwys yn yr adroddiad blynyddol ar y rhaglen i wella hygyrchedd cyfraith Cymru a fydd yn cael ei osod gerbron y Senedd yn ddiweddarach eleni.
