Toggle to Welsh
A language toggle for switching between English and Welsh
This pattern lets the user change the language used in a service from English to Welsh and from Welsh to English. It uses the Language toggle component.
When to use this pattern
Use the Welsh language toggle when a service is available in Welsh and the user can switch from English to Welsh while using it.
Internal services used mainly by DWP staff do not usually have a Welsh language version and so most will not need this pattern.
Design goals and metrics
The goal of this pattern was to develop a standard way for users to switch between languages when using DWP services available in English and Welsh. Not all services do this in the same way so standardising the language toggle's appearance and behaviour should help to avoid confusion.
