English: Thank you for your statement, Minister, although I am sorry to have to observe that it's rather thin on detail, and it does seem to be largely a list of aspirations, laudable though those aspirations are. Your statement talks about a plan, but I can't see a detailed plan in your statement. So, I'm just wondering: would you let us know when the detailed plan is going to be issued, and will we have advance sight of it? It's all very well and good to be launching a new action plan for Welsh language technology, but let's not forget that your Government did that five years ago. So, before launching a new set of objectives, perhaps the Minister would like to review what's been achieved under the previous Welsh language technology action plan. In 2013, a document was produced by Welsh Government to be used as a guide for what the Government was going to be doing and hoping to achieve in the next five years in terms of Welsh language technology. One of the areas that the Welsh Government said it would focus on was motivating the main technology companies, such as Google and Amazon and Microsoft and the like, to increase the Welsh language provision that they offered. The desired outcomes set were stated to be more products and services provided by the main technology companies in Welsh, and third-party Welsh language digital content to be available and easily accessible via the distribution channels of the main technology companies. Welsh Government also wanted to encourage the development of new Welsh language software applications and digital services, and to increase the availability of Welsh language software applications and digital services - again, objectives that I can personally really get on board with. But, can you tell me, Minister: has there been a significant increase in the products and services provided by these technology companies in Welsh? Has there been an increase in the amount of Welsh content online? Has there been an increase or an improvement in the apps available to bilingual people, or people who only speak Welsh? It must be very, very difficult for somebody who is either only a Welsh speaker or has very limited English to get around the modern mobile world without apps in the relevant language. Another aim was stimulating the creation and sharing and consumption of Welsh language digital content. So, can you tell me how much more content there is out there, and how are you assessing it? Are you actually monitoring how much Welsh language content there is there, how many apps are out there that are available in Welsh? How are you actually monitoring the progress and the achievements of the previous work that you've done so that it can be built on for the future? The report also said that the Welsh Government would aim to establish a precedent for the development of new, innovative Welsh language technology. Can you explain to me a little bit about what was actually done, and what the actual outcomes of that work were, and what precedent was actually established in that respect? The document also stated that there were a number of Welsh language or bilingual apps and e-books that had been published online for a range of devices in Welsh, there was a Welsh language interface for Microsoft Windows, Office and the like, and Facebook had a Welsh language interface. So, there was quite a lot of activity, even five years ago, in relation to the Welsh language and technology. So, can you tell us how much money you spent over the last few years on enhancing Welsh language provision in technology and what the actual return on that investment has been? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am eich datganiad, Gweinidog, er ei bod yn drueni i mi orfod dweud mai prin yw'r manylion ynddo, ac yr ymddengys mai rhestr o ddyheadau ydyw i raddau helaeth, er bod y dyheadau hynny i'w canmol. Mae eich datganiad yn trafod cynllun, ond ni allaf weld cynllun manwl yn eich datganiad. Felly, tybed a fyddech yn rhoi gwybod inni pan gaiff y cynllun manwl ei gyhoeddi, ac a fyddwn ni'n cael golwg arno ymlaen llaw? Un peth yw lansio cynllun gweithredu newydd ar gyfer technoleg iaith Gymraeg, ond gadewch inni ddwyn i gof hefyd fod eich Llywodraeth chi wedi gwneud hynny bum mlynedd yn ôl. Felly, cyn lansio set newydd o amcanion, efallai y byddai'r Gweinidog yn dymuno adolygu'r hyn a gyflawnwyd dan y cynllun gweithredu technoleg iaith Gymraeg blaenorol. Yn 2013, cynhyrchwyd dogfen gan Lywodraeth Cymru i'w defnyddio fel canllaw ar gyfer yr hyn y byddai'r Llywodraeth yn ei wneud ac yn gobeithio ei gyflawni yn y pum mlynedd nesaf o ran technoleg iaith Gymraeg. Un o'r meysydd y dywedodd Llywodraeth Cymru y byddai'n canolbwyntio arnynt oedd ysgogi'r prif gwmnïau technoleg, fel Google ac Amazon a Microsoft ac yn y blaen, i gynyddu'r ddarpariaeth yr oedden nhw'n ei chynnig trwy'r Gymraeg. Y canlyniadau dymunol a nodwyd oedd mwy o gynhyrchion a gwasanaethau yn cael eu darparu yn y Gymraeg gan y prif gwmnïau technoleg, a chynnwys digidol trydydd parti i fod ar gael yn hwylus yn y Gymraeg drwy sianeli dosbarthu'r prif gwmnïau technoleg. Roedd Llywodraeth Cymru yn awyddus hefyd i annog y datblygiad o becynnau meddalwedd iaith Gymraeg newydd a gwasanaethau digidol, a chynyddu nifer y pecynnau meddalwedd a gwasanaethau digidol oedd ar gael - unwaith eto, amcanion y gallaf innau'n bersonol gyd-fynd â nhw i raddau helaeth iawn. Ond, a wnewch chi ddweud wrthyf i, Gweinidog: a oes cynnydd sylweddol wedi bod yn y cynhyrchion a'r gwasanaethau a ddarperir gan y cwmnïau technoleg hyn yn Gymraeg? A fu cynnydd yn y cynnwys sydd ar gael ar-lein yn Gymraeg? A oes cynnydd neu welliant wedi bod yn yr apiau sydd ar gael i bobl yn ddwyieithog, neu i bobl uniaith Gymraeg? Mae'n rhaid ei bod yn anodd iawn, iawn i rywun sydd naill ai yn uniaith Gymraeg neu sydd â Saesneg prin i fynd o gwmpas eu pethau yn y byd symudol modern heb apiau yn yr iaith berthnasol. Amcan arall oedd ysgogi'r gwaith o greu a rhannu a defnyddio cynnwys digidol yn Gymraeg. Felly, a wnewch chi ddweud wrthyf faint mwy o gynnwys sydd yno, a sut rydych yn ei asesu? A ydych mewn gwirionedd yn monitro faint o gynnwys sydd yno yn yr iaith Gymraeg, faint o apiau sydd ar gael yn y Gymraeg? Sut ydych mewn gwirionedd yn monitro cynnydd a chyflawniadau'r gwaith blaenorol yr ydych wedi ei wneud fel y gellir adeiladu i'r dyfodol? Dywedodd yr adroddiad hefyd y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn anelu at sefydlu cynsail ar gyfer datblygu technoleg iaith Gymraeg newydd ac arloesol. A wnewch chi egluro ychydig i mi ar yr hyn a gyflawnwyd mewn gwirionedd, a beth oedd canlyniadau gwirioneddol y gwaith hwnnw, a pha gynsail a sefydlwyd mewn gwirionedd yn hynny o beth? Nododd y ddogfen hefyd fod yna nifer o apiau ac e-lyfrau Cymraeg neu ddwyieithog wedi eu cyhoeddi ar-lein ar gyfer amrywiaeth o ddyfeisiau yn y Gymraeg, a bod rhyngwyneb Cymraeg ar gyfer Microsoft Windows, Office ac yn y blaen, a bod gan Facebook ryngwyneb iaith Gymraeg. Felly, roedd yna gryn dipyn o weithgarwch, hyd yn oed bum mlynedd yn ôl, o ran yr iaith Gymraeg a thechnoleg. Felly, a wnewch chi ddweud wrthym faint o arian a wariwyd gennych dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf ar wella'r ddarpariaeth Gymraeg ym maes technoleg a faint mewn gwirionedd o elwa a fu ar y buddsoddiad hwnnw? Diolch i chi.
