Toggle to Welsh

How it works

This pattern uses the Language toggle component to switch a page's language from English to Welsh and back.

You should place the component:

  • on the right-hand side of the page
  • below the GOV.UK header and phase banner
  • level with the Back link, if there is one
  • above the main content

The Welsh language toggle should appear on every page of the service.

When a user selects a language the page should change to the language selected. The user should be shown this language for the rest of the journey unless they decide to change to the other language option.

When a user selects a language they should stay on the same page of the service. They should not be taken back to the beginning of the service. Any information they have already entered should be kept.
