English: That is nothing new, if truth be told. Very sadly, when I look back at reports published by my predecessor, Meri Huws, that comment was made time and time again that there wasn't sufficient impact assessment in terms of the Welsh language. Now, of course, for many of these bodies, particularly local authorities and national parks, it is a requirement for them to have five-year plans in place for promotion. The truth is that the content of some of those plans is disappointing. Unfortunately, all that's required under the Measure is that a plan is published; there is no mention of what's expected in that plan. So, once again, there is a risk that we are constantly critical, but I am convinced that it's our role as an office to show the way, and that's why so much attention has been given over this past 12 months to providing advice and disseminating good practice. So, another document has been published during this month in terms of policy development. We have set out what we expect to see in terms of good practice from here on in. We have also arranged a meeting with every institution on the twenty-first of this month. It'll be a virtual meeting where there will be an opportunity for those people who have a strategic responsibility for the Welsh language and policy to have discussions with us. But the situation is now quite serious and the number of investigations in terms of failure to take account of the Welsh language in policy development is increasing. There was a recent court case involving a certain council that stated that our view in terms of the ineffectiveness of the consideration of the Welsh language in some of these policy decisions was reinforced by a High Court judge in his adjudication. So, I'm very eager for us to change the situation. There is also scope for us to share good practice in terms of what we would expect to see in these five-year plans. Many of these are due to be redrafted in 2021-22 and unless there is significant improvement in the content of those plans next time, then it will be a missed opportunity. So, we need to provide resources, and Guto might have some comments as to how exactly we're going to promote usage and promote understanding, because the truth is that that court case, to all intents and purposes, said that only 10 per cent of the assessment took account of the Welsh language - that's 10 per cent in an assessment that was related directly to the Welsh language.
Welsh: Dyw hwn ddim yn unrhyw beth newydd, a dweud y gwir. Yn drist iawn, pan dwi'n edrych yn ôl ar adroddiadau a gafodd eu cyhoeddi gan fy rhagflaenydd i, Meri Huws, mi oedd y sylw'n cael ei wneud dro ar ôl tro bod yna ddiffyg asesu effaith o ran y Gymraeg. Erbyn hyn, wrth gwrs, mae yna nifer fawr o gyrff, yn arbennig awdurdodau lleol a pharciau cenedlaethol, lle mae'n ofynnol iddyn nhw gael cynlluniau pum mlynedd o ran hybu, beth bynnag. Y gwir amdani ydy bod cynnwys rhai o'r cynlluniau yna'n siomedig. Yn anffodus, y cwbl sydd yn ofynnol o dan y Mesur ydy bod yna gynllun yn cael ei gyhoeddi; does yna ddim sôn o ran beth sydd yn ddisgwyliedig o ran y cynllun. Felly, eto, mae yna beryg, onid oes, ein bod ni jest yn beirniadu. Dwi'n argyhoeddedig mai ein lle ni fel corff ydy dangos y ffordd, felly dyna pam mae yna lawer iawn o sylw wedi cael ei roi yn ystod y flwyddyn olaf yma i gyngor ac arfer da. Felly, mae yna ddogfen arall wedi cael ei chyhoeddi yn ystod y mis o ran llunio polisi. Rydyn ni wedi dweud beth rydyn ni'n disgwyl ei weld o ran arfer da o hyn ymlaen. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi trefnu cyfarfod ar gyfer pob sefydliad ar yr unfed ar hugain o'r mis yma, cyfarfod rhithiol, lle bydd yna gyfle i bobl sydd yn gyfrifol yn strategol am y Gymraeg a swyddogion polisi i drafod efo ni ynglŷn â'r sefyllfa. Ond erbyn hyn, mae'r sefyllfa'n eithaf difrifol. Mae nifer yr ymchwiliadau o ran methiant i ystyried y Gymraeg wrth iddyn nhw lunio polisi yn cynnyddu. Roedd yna achos llys yn ddiweddar efo un cyngor sydd yn dweud bod ein barn ni o ran mor aneffeithiol ydy ystyriaeth o ran y Gymraeg o fewn rhai o'r penderfyniadau polisi yma yn cael ei atgyfnerthu gan farnwr yn yr Uchel Lys. Felly, dwi'n awyddus iawn i ni newid y sefyllfa. Mae yna le hefyd i ni rannu'r arfer da y byddem ni'n disgwyl ei weld o ran y cynlluniau pum mlynedd yma. Mae nifer fawr o'r cynlluniau yma i fod i gael eu hailgyhoeddi yn 2021-22, ond a dweud y gwir, heblaw bod yna wella sylweddol yng nghynnwys y cynlluniau yna y tro nesaf, cam gwag fydd gyda ni. Felly, mae angen i ni roi adnoddau, a hwyrach bod Guto efo rhai sylwadau o ran sut yn union rydyn ni'n mynd i fynd ati i hybu defnydd a hybu dealltwriaeth, achos y gwir amdani ydy bod yr achos llys yna, i bob pwrpas, wedi dweud mai ond 10 y cant o'r asesiad oedd yn ystyried y Gymraeg - 10 y cant o fewn asesiad oedd i fod yn ymwneud â'r iaith Gymraeg.
