Welsh Road Sign

The BBC reported on Friday about a sign outside a supermarket in Morriston, Swansea. The English sign read "No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only". They e-mailed their road sign to Swansea Council's translation department, so that they could also put up the Welsh equivalent. They received their reply, and duly put the sign up in both languages. Apparently "Nid wyf yn y swyddfa ar hyn o bryd. Anfonwch unrhyw waith iw gyfieithu" means "I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated."
