English: I would endorse the words of the Permanent Secretary. It is important for us to change the culture, because at present we are over-dependent on translation, I would say, and that's one of the reasons why these can be difficult to complete, because so many documents are produced in English first and then translated. The translation team does some excellent work, but it's a relatively small team. There is also a problem throughout Wales as regards translation capacity. So, it's not something that's sustainable in the long term. So, one of the things that we are looking at in my office, for example, is beginning to look at using technology more often, and trying to move away from this culture of translation and using the skills of the people that we have translating for us in a slightly different way to edit both languages, for example, if the documents were produced throughout the Government bilingually. So, this term 'mainstreaming' means several things. It means mainstreaming in policy, and also in the way in which we work within Government. That, in the long term, will be the solution to many of our problems.
Welsh: Jest i ategu at beth ddywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Parhaol, mae e'n bwysig i ni newid y diwylliant, achos ar y funud rŷm ni'n or-ddibynnol, fe fyddwn i'n dweud, ar gyfieithu, a dyna un o'r rhesymau pam bod y pethau yma yn gallu bod yn anodd eu cwblhau, achos bod gymaint o ddogfennau yn cael eu cynhyrchu yn Saesneg gyntaf ac wedyn yn cael eu cyfieithu. Mae'r tîm cyfieithu yn gwneud gwaith arbennig o dda, ond mae'n dîm eithaf bach. Mae yna hefyd broblem drwy Gymru o ran y nifer o gyfieithwyr sydd gyda ni. Felly, dyw e ddim yn rhywbeth sy'n gynaliadwy yn y tymor hir. Un o'r pethau rŷm ni'n edrych arno yn fy swyddfa i, er enghraifft - rŷm ni'n dechrau edrych ar ddefnyddio technoleg yn fwy aml, trio symud i ffwrdd o'r diwylliant yma o gyfieithu, a defnyddio sgiliau'r bobl sydd gyda ni'n cyfieithu efallai mewn ffordd tipyn bach yn wahanol i olygu'r ddwy iaith, er enghraifft, yn y dyfodol, pe bai'r dogfennau yn cael eu cynhyrchu drwy'r Llywodraeth yn ei gyfanrwydd. Felly, mae'r gair yma, 'prif-ffrydio', yn golygu sawl peth. Mae'n golygu prif-ffrydio o ran polisi, ond mae hefyd yn golygu prif-ffrydio o ran y ffordd rŷm ni'n gweithio o fewn y Llywodraeth. Ac, yn y tymor hir, dyna'r ateb i lot o'r problemau sydd gyda ni.
English: Okay. If you could keep us informed of that work, and, when the strategy is published, if you could share that with us. Certainly, we will have a great deal of interest in scrutinising that, or looking at it at least. Thank you very much. We'll move on to Mick Antoniw, at last.
Welsh: Iawn. Os ydych chi'n gallu ein diweddaru ni gyda'r gwaith hynny ac, yn amlwg, pan fydd y strategaeth yn cael ei gyhoeddi, os medrwch chi rannu hynny gyda ni. Yn sicr, bydd diddordeb gyda ni i sgrwtineiddio, neu edrych arno fe o leiaf. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Symud ymlaen i Mick Antoniw, o'r diwedd.
English: Just, to conclude, a few questions on Welsh in business - you have talked about it already, but I just wanted to understand what assessment you have made of Welsh in business, and whether you can respond on an update of the Arfor scheme, which was part of the recent budget and the agreement between Plaid Cymru and the Labour Party.
Welsh: Jest, i orffen, cwpl o gwestiynau am Gymraeg byd busnes - rŷch chi wedi sôn amdano fe'n barod, ond rwy jest eisiau deall pa asesiad dŷch chi wedi'i wneud o'r Gymraeg ym myd busnes, a hefyd os ydych chi'n gallu ateb ynglŷn â diweddariad am y cynllun Arfor, oedd yn rhan o'r gyllideb ddiweddar a'r cytundeb rhwng Plaid Cymru â'r Blaid Lafur.
English: Well, I think that we do a lot as regards the world of business. One of the things that we've been focusing on is helping to promote the Welsh language in the workplace. And so we have a project with the National Centre for Leaching Welsh, and they offer businesses training to teach Welsh in the workplace. Many major companies have grasped the opportunity to make use of this. BT, SWALEC and Santander are some of the examples of the large organisations that wish to give customer service through the medium of Welsh. What many of them have are a workforce that have been through Welsh-medium education, but have lost their confidence after leaving school. So, what they need is refresher courses, and so that's the kind of help they give. So, we've also got a network of officials - 14 officials - that advise small businesses throughout Wales.
Welsh: Wel, dwi'n meddwl ein bod ni'n gwneud lot o ran beth rŷm ni'n ei wneud ym myd busnes. Un o'r pethau rŷm ni wedi bod yn canolbwyntio arno yw helpu hybu'r Gymraeg yn y gweithle. So, mae project gyda ni gyda'r Ganolfan Dysgu Cymraeg Genedlaethol, a beth maen nhw'n ei wneud yw cynnig hyfforddiant i fusnesau i ddysgu'r Gymraeg yn y gweithle. Mae lot o gwmnïau mawr yn arbennig wedi cymryd y cyfle i sicrhau eu bod nhw'n gwneud defnydd o hwn. Mae BT a SWALEC a Santander yn rhai enghreifftiau o fudiadau mawr sydd eisiau rhoi gwasanaeth drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Beth yn aml sydd gyda nhw yw gweithlu sydd â rhai ohonyn nhw wedi bod trwy addysg Gymraeg ond wedi colli lot o hyder. Felly, beth sydd eisiau arnyn nhw yw gloywi iaith, ac felly dyna'r math o help maen nhw'n ei roi. Hefyd, wrth gwrs, mae gyda ni'r rhwydwaith yma o swyddogion - 14 o swyddogion - yn mynd a rhoi cyngor i fusnesau bach o amgylch Cymru.
English: Are they full-time, these officials?
Welsh: Ydyn nhw'n llawn amser wedyn, y swyddogion yna?
English: Yes. They're full time.
Welsh: Maen nhw'n llawn amser.
English: And they are specifically on Welsh language services?
Welsh: Yn benodol ar yr iaith Gymraeg?
English: Yes. There are 14 of them, and they are linked in to the mentrau iaith. They focus on sectors such as tourism, food and drink, retail. And so that's been going for about 18 months now. And so, obviously, what we need to do now is to see what the outcome or the results of all of this are and what difference it makes. We know that they've contacted almost 3,000 businesses already, so that's something. They've given more intensive support to about 400 of those businesses, just to help. For example, they translate menus and that kind of thing, for restaurants and so on, and that helps -
Welsh: Maen nhw'n benodol ar yr iaith Gymraeg. Mae 14 ohonyn nhw. Maen nhw wedi ymgysylltu â'r mentrau iaith. Maen nhw'n canolbwyntio ar sectorau fel twristiaeth, fel bwyd a diod, fel manwerthu. Ac felly mae hwnna'n rhywbeth - mae wedi bod yn mynd ers tua blwyddyn a hanner. Felly, yn amlwg, beth rŷn ni ei eisiau nawr yw gweld beth yw canlyniad hynny a pha wahaniaeth mae'n ei wneud. Rŷn ni'n gwybod eu bod nhw wedi ymgysylltu â bron i 3,000 o fusnesau eisoes, felly mae hwnna yn rhywbeth. Maen nhw wedi rhoi help lot mwy intensive i bron â bod 400 o'r rheini, jest i helpu. Er enghraifft, maen nhw'n cyfieithu menus a phethau mewn restaurants ac ati, ac mae hwnna'n help -
English: How do people find out about these officials specifically? How would a small company in Tredegar, for example, know about them?
Welsh: Sut mae pobl yn ffeindio mas am y swyddogion yma yn benodol? Sut fyddai cwmni bach yn Nhredegar, er enghraifft, yn ffeindio mas?
English: Well, these people, they go out and contact the companies themselves. So, they then make the effort to contact them. They're doing the outreach proactively. So, our officials are going out and contacting the companies. Obviously, there are networks, there are websites and so on, where people can get this information.
Welsh: Wel, mae'r bobl yma, nhw sydd yn mynd allan ac yn treial cysylltu â'r cwmnïau eu hunain. Felly, maen nhw wedyn yn gwneud yr ymdrech i gysylltu â nhw. Felly, mae'n proactive o ran ein swyddogion ni yn mynd allan a chysylltu â nhw. Ond, yn amlwg, mae yna rwydweithiau, mae yna websites ac ati, lle mae pobl yn gallu cael yr wybodaeth yma.
English: Arfor - so, what's interesting about this is that there is a recognition that there is a link between the language and the economy. We are very aware of that, and particularly if we get a 'no deal' Brexit, we've been looking at where the impact will be greatest as regards the economy. And it's very interesting, of course, that the rural areas - if there's a 'no deal' Brexit, they will take a big hit, some of the Welsh-speaking areas. And so this link with the economy is extremely important. One of the things that we are going to do is have a round-table discussion in October with some of the council leaders in the Arfor area to see what more we can do in the field of marrying the economy with the language. And so that's something that we're going to -
Welsh: Arfor - felly, beth sydd, dwi'n meddwl, yn ddiddorol am hwn yw bod yna gydnabyddiaeth bod yna linc rhwng yr iaith a'r economi. Rŷm ni'n ymwybodol iawn o hynny, ac yn arbennig efallai os cawn ni ' no deal ' Brexit, rŷm ni wedi bod yn edrych ar ble fydd y Gymraeg - ble fydd yr effaith fwyaf o ran yr economi. Ac mae'n ddiddorol iawn, wrth gwrs, bydd cefn gwlad, os bydd ' no deal ' Brexit, bydd hwnna yn cael ergyd fawr, rhai o'r ardaloedd Cymreig. Felly, mae'r linc yma gyda'r economi yn bwysig dros ben. Un o'r pethau rŷm ni'n mynd i'w gwneud yw rŷm ni'n mynd i gael cyfarfod bwrdd crwn ym mis Hydref, gyda rhai o arweinwyr y cyngor sy'n ymwneud ag Arfor i weld beth yn fwy gallwn ni ei wneud ym maes priodi'r economi gyda'r iaith. Ac felly mae hwnna'n rhywbeth rŷm ni'n mynd i'w -
English: So, the funding, the £2 million, is being spent at the moment, and you're aware of how it's being spent, and how to hold that spend to account.
Welsh: Felly, mae'r arian, y £2 miliwn, yn cael ei wario ar hyn o bryd, a dŷch chi'n ymwybodol o sut mae'n cael ei wario a sut y byddech chi'n dwyn i gyfrif yr hyn sy'n digwydd.
English: Yes. So, the promotion of entrepreneurship is the main focus of the expenditure, and growing businesses in west Wales. And so that is the field that the money is being spent on at the moment.
Welsh: Ydy. So, hybu entrepreneuriaeth yw'r prif beth mae'n cael ei wario arno, a thyfu busnesau yng ngorllewin Cymru. Felly dyna'r maes mae'r arian yma yn cael ei wario arno ar hyn o bryd.
English: And how do you track the developments?
Welsh: A sut ydych chi'n tracio'r datblygiadau?
English: That funding has only started to be spent recently, so it's obviously early days.
Welsh: Dim ond yn ddiweddar mae'r arian yna wedi dechrau cael ei wario, felly, yn amlwg, mae'n ddyddiau cynnar.
English: Thank you. I just had a question about the capacity in the civil service, if that's okay.
Welsh: Diolch. Roedd gen i jest cwestiwn arall ynglŷn â'r capasiti yn y gwasanaeth sifil, os yw hynny'n iawn.
English: Yes, that is their job. They ensure compliance. I supervise that process, but there are three officials. One is on the communications side, and two work on the more technical side of the process.
Welsh: Ie, dyna'u swydd. Eu swydd nhw yw i sicrhau cydymffurfiaeth. Felly, dwi'n arolygu'r broses yna, ond mae yna dri. Mae un yn gweithio ar yr ochr gyfathrebu, ac mae yna ddau yn gweithio ar yr ochr mwy technegol o oruchwylio'r broses.
English: So, those two are only involved in preparing the standards.
Welsh: So, dim ond paratoi'r safonau y mae'r ddau yna yn ei wneud, felly.
English: Just to be clear - we don't prepare the standards. It's the policy department that prepare those standards, and we just ensure compliance.
Welsh: Jest i fod yn glir - nid ni sy'n paratoi'r safonau. Felly, yr adran bolisi sy'n paratoi'r safonau, so dŷn ni'n sicrhau bod y Llywodraeth yn -
English: Sorry, forgive me - just looking at compliance with standards, that's what they focus on.
Welsh: Sori, maddeuwch i mi - dwi'n golygu dim ond edrych ar gydymffurfio â safonau maen nhw'n gweithio arno fe, felly.
English: Thank you very much. And are you confident that there is sufficient capacity in the civil service to ensure that you can work on this if these standards are rolled out in the new authorities and organisations as well? If there are more standards, will you have sufficient capacity in the civil service to do that work, or will additional resources be available?
Welsh: Diolch. Ac ydych chi'n teimlo'n hyderus bod digon o gapasiti yn y gwasanaeth sifil i wneud yn siŵr byddech chi'n gallu gweithio ar hynny os yw'r safonau yn cael eu rhedeg mas ar gymaint o - yn yr awdurdodau newydd hefyd? Os oes yna fwy o safonau, a fydd digon o gapasiti yn y gwasanaeth sifil ar gyfer hynny, neu a fydd adnoddau ychwanegol ar gael?
English: What I would say is that, currently, we are able to ensure that we are able to comply with the standards. There are exceptions, and we've been discussing those with the commissioner - things such as the documents we discussed earlier. If the standards were to expand in scope, then we would need to reconsider our methods of working. But that is the purpose of the strategy, as the Permanent Secretary referred to. And in the longer term, things will be different and we will need to increase the capacity. Because at the moment, I would say, in order to pursue the Government's ambition, the capacity isn't there. That's why it's a long-term thing.
Welsh: Beth fyddwn i'n ei ddweud yw, ar y funud, rŷm ni'n gallu sicrhau ein bod ni'n gallu cydymffurfio â'r safonau. Mae yna eithriadau, ac rŷm ni wedi bod yn trafod rheini gyda'r comisiynydd - pethau fel y dogfennau rŷm ni wedi bod yn eu trafod yn gynharach. Os oedd y safonau yn ehangu yn eu sgôp, byddai angen i ni ailystyried y ffordd dŷn ni'n gweithio. Ond dyna beth yw pwrpas y strategaeth, fel mae'r Ysgrifennydd Parhaol wedi cyfeirio. Ac yn y tymor hir, fe fydd pethau'n wahanol a bydd angen codi'r capasiti. Achos ar y funud, byddwn i'n dweud, i ddilyn uchelgais y Llywodraeth, dyw'r capasiti ddim yna ar y funud. Felly, dyna pam mae hwn yn rhywbeth tymor hir.
English: Thank you very much. Sorry about that - I was taking advice from the researcher. Thank you very much to you all for joining us today. We don't have any further questions at the moment, but we have asked for a few additional documents to be sent in, so if you could keep us updated on those. Thank you very much for joining us. We will take a break now until 11:15, if Members could come back by that time. Thank you.
Welsh: Iawn, diolch yn fawr. Sori - ro'n i'n cymryd cyngor gan yr ymchwilwyr. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am ddod atom heddiw. Does dim mwy o gwestiynau gyda ni am nawr, ond dŷn ni wedi gofyn am gwpl o ddogfennau gwahanol, felly os medrwch chi gadw mewn cysylltiad gyda hynny. Diolch yn fawr eto am ddod mewn atom. Byddwn ni'n cymryd seibiant nawr tan 11:15, os yw Aelodau'n gallu dod nôl erbyn hynny. Diolch.
English: Thank you very much, and welcome back to the committee meeting. We're moving on now to item 3 on the agenda: 'Count me in!', the inquiry into the role of arts and culture in addressing poverty and social exclusion. We have an evidence session this morning with Baroness Kay Andrews OBE. A very warm welcome to you today. Good morning to you. Before we move to questions, I'm aware that you want to make a short presentation -
Welsh: Diolch, a chroeso yn ôl i'r pwyllgor. Dŷn ni'n symud ymlaen yn awr at eitem 3 ar yr agenda: 'Minnau hefyd!', ymchwiliad i rôl y celfyddydau a diwylliant wrth fynd i'r afael â thlodi ac allgáu cymdeithasol. Dŷn ni'n cael sesiwn y bore yma gyda'r Farwnes Kay Andrews OBE. Croeso i chi atom heddiw. Bore da. Cyn i ni symud at gwestiynau, dwi'n ymwybodol eich bod chi eisiau gwneud cyflwyniad o'r -
English: Is that working better?
Welsh: Ydy hwnna'n gweithio'n well?
English: Welcome to you. Before we move on to questions from Members, I'm aware that you want to make a short presentation about your opinion of the work and how it has moved forward on the ground. So, you're very welcome to give that presentation now.
Welsh: Croeso eto. Cyn i ni symud ymlaen at gwestiynau, dwi'n ymwybodol eich bod chi eisiau gwneud cyflwyniad byr, os yn bosib, am eich barn chi ynglŷn â sut mae'r gwaith yma wedi gweithredu ar lawr gwlad. Felly, croeso i chi roi cyflwyniad byr.
English: We move on to item 4 therefore - papers to note. We have correspondence from Equity regarding the need to hold local auditions for Welsh Government-funded productions. And then, there's a letter to the Minister for Health and Social Services regarding the national health services regulations, and there's a letter to the Minister for Education regarding the transferability of teaching skills. Does anybody have any comments to make on those papers?
Welsh: Dŷn ni'n symud ymlaen at eitem 4 felly - papurau i'w nodi. Mae yna ohebiaeth gan Equity ynghylch yr angen i gynnal clyweliadau lleol ar gyfer cynyrchiadau a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Wedyn llythyr at y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ynglŷn â rheoliadau'r gwasanaeth iechyd gwladol, a wedyn mae yna lythyr at y Gweinidog Addysg ynghylch natur drosglwyddadwy sgiliau addysgu. Oes gan unrhyw un sylwad ar hynny?
English: If not, we'll move on to item 5, which is a motion under Standing Order 17.42 to resolve to exclude the public from the rest of the meeting. Everyone content? Thank you very much.
Welsh: Os na, dŷn ni'n symud ymlaen at eitem 5 - cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog i wahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod. Ydy pawb yn hapus? Grêt. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport. And the first question is from David Rees.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma yw'r cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth. Ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan David Rees.
English: Yes, of course. Our broad approach to economic development in Aberavon, and across Wales, is set out in the economic action plan.
Welsh: Gwnaf, wrth gwrs. Mae ein hagwedd gyffredinol at ddatblygu economaidd yn Aberafan, a ledled Cymru, wedi'i nodi yn y cynllun gweithredu ar yr economi.
English: Can I thank Dai Rees for not just his questions, but also the important point he makes about the fantastic natural and built assets in his constituency and across the region? As the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism takes forward a new tourism action plan, which will be consulted on, diversity within the sector and across each of the regions will play a key role. There has been huge business growth in Neath Port Talbot over recent years - double-digit growth in terms of business start-ups - and we as a Government, whether it's with regard to the tourism sector or any other sector, are determined to ensure that that growth continues into the future. The Member also raises a very serious matter that has been much promoted in the media, and investigated particularly by ITV and The Guardian. We thank them for their work on this particular project. I can indeed assure Members today that we have not promised, and we have not provided, a penny of funding to Gavin Woodhouse or Northern Powerhouse Developments for the proposed development of the Afan valley adventure resort. But it is important that Governments look to proposals that are brought forward that offer transformational potential. I would join Members who have, across this Chamber in recent days, appealed for clarity as to whether the vision on offer for the Afan valley - a stunning valley in south Wales - can still be realised.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Dai Rees, nid yn unig am ei gwestiynau, ond hefyd am y pwynt pwysig y mae'n ei wneud am yr asedau naturiol ac adeiledig gwych yn ei etholaeth ac ar draws y rhanbarth? Wrth i'r Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth fwrw ymlaen â chynllun gweithredu newydd ar gyfer twristiaeth, a fydd yn destun ymgynghoriad, bydd amrywiaeth o fewn y sector ac ar draws pob rhanbarth yn chwarae rôl allweddol. Mae twf busnes enfawr wedi bod yng Nghastell-nedd Port Talbot dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf - twf dau ddigid o ran busnesau newydd - ac rydym ni fel Llywodraeth, boed hynny mewn cysylltiad â'r sector twristiaeth neu unrhyw sector arall, yn benderfynol o sicrhau bod y twf hwnnw'n parhau yn y dyfodol. Mae'r Aelod hefyd yn codi mater difrifol iawn sydd wedi'i hyrwyddo'n fawr yn y cyfryngau, ac sydd wedi bod yn destun ymchwiliad gan ITV a The Guardian yn benodol. Diolch iddynt am eu gwaith ar y prosiect arbennig hwn. Gallaf sicrhau'r Aelodau heddiw yn wir nad ydym wedi addo, nac wedi darparu, ceiniog o gyllid i Gavin Woodhouse na Northern Powerhouse Developments ar gyfer datblygu'r parc antur arfaethedig yng nghwm Afan. Ond mae'n bwysig fod Llywodraethau'n edrych ar y cynigion a gyflwynir sy'n cynnig potensial trawsnewidiol. Buaswn yn ymuno ag Aelodau sydd wedi apelio am eglurder ar draws y Siambr hon yn y dyddiau diwethaf ynglŷn ag a ellir gwireddu'r weledigaeth a gynigir ar gyfer cwm Afan, sy'n gwm syfrdanol yn ne Cymru.
English: David Rees is absolutely right. And the opportunity, not just in the Afan valley, but both the Neath valleys as well, for tourism development is extraordinary. And I still consider it a missed opportunity. What's available in the Neath Port Talbot borough is just amazing. We've obviously been hit by some bad news recently, not just the newspaper pieces that you've referred to, but the sad news about Jistcourt as well, so we could do with some good news. Could you tell me when you last received an update from the Swansea bay city deal board about progress towards the national steel innovation centre?
Welsh: Mae David Rees yn llygad ei le. Ac mae'r cyfle, nid yn unig yng nghwm Afan, ond yng nghymoedd Castell-nedd hefyd, i ddatblygu twristiaeth, yn anhygoel. Ac rwy'n dal i'w ystyried yn gyfle a gollwyd. Mae'r hyn sydd ar gael ym mwrdeistref Castell-nedd Port Talbot yn anhygoel. Mae'n amlwg ein bod wedi cael ein taro gan newyddion drwg yn ddiweddar, nid yn unig mewn perthynas â'r erthyglau papur newydd rydych wedi cyfeirio atynt, ond y newyddion trist am Jistcourt hefyd, felly gallem wneud gyda newyddion da. A allech chi ddweud wrthyf pryd oedd y tro diwethaf i chi gael diweddariad gan fwrdd bargen ddinesig bae Abertawe am y cynnydd tuag at y ganolfan arloesi dur genedlaethol?
English: I receive, at the moment, almost on a daily basis, updates from my officials regarding the Swansea bay city deal and each and every one of the projects, as does my Deputy Minister. And I hope that we'll be able to make a positive statement very soon with regard to the deal.
Welsh: Ar hyn o bryd, rwy'n derbyn diweddariadau bron bob dydd gan fy swyddogion ynglŷn â bargen ddinesig bae Abertawe a phob un o'r prosiectau, fel y mae fy Nirprwy Weinidog. Ac rwy'n gobeithio y byddwn yn gallu gwneud datganiad cadarnhaol yn fuan iawn mewn perthynas â'r fargen honno.
