Agency designs first web manager in Welsh.

A CARDIFF digital design agency has developed the first content management system (CMS) available in the Welsh language.

Sequence said its Welsh version of the CMS will be targeted at the public sector initially.

Managing director of Sequence Richard Baker said: "Welsh public sector organisations are leading the way in using the Welsh language in the workplace.

"The tool will not only enable Welsh speaking employees to manage their website in their chosen language, but it will help to ensure that Welsh remains a living language in the workplace.

"It is also extremely positive that Welsh is being integrated into modern technology - again highlighting the significance of the Welsh language in business."

Meri Huws, chair of the Welsh Language Board, said: "I would like to congratulate Sequence on the launch of a CMS in the Welsh language. Information technology is a central part of our daily lives - at school or college, at work and at home - and it is important that Welsh speakers can use the language on the computer, and become confident in using Welsh language technology.

"Increasing the use of the Welsh language in the workplace leads to a better standard of customer service, and helps to develop a skilled and confident workforce.

"Installing Welsh language CMS will help employers to achieve this."
