E-learning in Cymraeg and English, equal from the first screen
Learners sign in, browse, study and take quizzes in Welsh, and receive their emails and certificates in Welsh too. Make Welsh your default language, or offer both side by side and let each learner choose.

Cymraeg is a full learner language with its own AI translation rules, and a team can choose it as the default.
- Welsh as the default language
- Welsh courses, emails and certificates
- Welsh sign-in page and switcher
Is there an LMS that works in Welsh?
Yes: Continuum Learn is a UK learning platform whose whole learner experience runs in Welsh (Cymraeg) as well as English, and a team can make Welsh its default language rather than an add-on. Learners sign in, browse, study, take quizzes and receive emails and certificates in Welsh, and switch to English at any time.
An administrator chooses the team's default language and which other languages learners may use. If Welsh is the default, a new visitor sees the Welsh sign-in page first and English is the option. The switcher sits in the site header and on the sign-in card, and the choice is saved to the learner's account so it is used for their emails too. Courses can be translated into Welsh lesson by lesson with an AI first draft, then reviewed and edited side by side with the English source. The editor shows which lessons are complete, missing or out of date after the source changes.
Under the Welsh Language Standards (No. 1) Regulations 2015, a body given those standards must offer education courses open to the public in Welsh (Standard 84) and make web page text, interfaces and menus available in Welsh, treating Welsh no less favourably than English (Standards 52 to 56). Other regulation sets number the standards differently. The platform gives you the tools: a Welsh interface, Welsh course versions, Welsh notifications and Welsh certificates. What stays with your organisation is the quality of the translation, completing it before you publish, and the English-only admin area. Which standards apply to you is set out in your compliance notice from the Welsh Language Commissioner. If you also train in other languages, see our multilingual LMS page, or read about programme certificates and non-profit online learning.
Welsh is translated as a first-class language, with Welsh-specific AI rules and a human review step, not machine-translated on the fly

Translate side by side
Review English and Welsh together, lesson by lesson. A lesson changed in English since it was translated is marked stale.

What Welsh-first looks like in practice
Offer learning in Cymraeg without running a second platform or copying every course.
Welsh-first, not Welsh-second
Set Cymraeg as the team's default language. Welsh is what visitors see first, and English is one click away.
One course, one record, two languages
Add Welsh to an existing course instead of duplicating it. Enrolments, progress, quiz results and certificates stay in one place.
Welsh certificates and emails
System emails go out in each learner's language, and certificates are issued in the language the learner was using, with the wording frozen at issue.
Ready for tender questions
Easy switching between English and Welsh, a Welsh sign-in page and Welsh notifications are the kind of points Welsh public-sector tenders ask about. The FAQ below is explicit about the limits.
Who uses a Welsh language LMS

The Welsh Language Standards and what an LMS can do
A guide, not legal advice. Numbering differs between regulation sets, so check your own compliance notice.
Continuum Learn does not certify Welsh Language Standards compliance. Compliance is assessed against your organisation's compliance notice.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an LMS that supports the Welsh language?
Yes. Continuum Learn is a UK-built LMS with a full Welsh (Cymraeg) learner interface. Learners sign in, browse the catalogue, study, take quizzes and receive emails and certificates in Welsh, and can switch to English at any time. For other languages see the multilingual LMS page.
Can Welsh be the default language of our learning platform?
Yes. An administrator can set Welsh as the team's default language under Manage > Settings > General and tick English as one of the languages learners may switch to. Team content such as signup fields, navigation labels and folder names keeps a version per language, so changing the default does not lose your English text.
Does Continuum Learn help us meet the Welsh Language Standards?
It gives you the tools to offer e-learning in Welsh: a Welsh interface, Welsh course versions, Welsh emails and certificates, and easy switching between languages. Which standards apply to you is set out in your compliance notice from the Welsh Language Commissioner, and compliance is your organisation's to demonstrate. The platform does not certify compliance.
Can learners switch between Welsh and English in the middle of a course?
Yes. The switcher in the header changes the language of the interface straight away, and a course that has an English and a Welsh version shows the version in the language the learner has chosen. Progress stays attached to the one course.
What happens if part of a course has not been translated into Welsh yet?
Untranslated text falls back to the source language, so a learner would see that part in English. The translation editor shows which lessons are complete, missing or out of date, so you can finish the Welsh before you publish. This matters for the requirement that Welsh is not treated less favourably, so we recommend completing a course's translation first.
Is the admin area available in Welsh?
No. The learner side is available in Welsh, but the areas where staff build courses and manage the team (Create and Manage) are in English, apart from the language settings themselves. If a Welsh staff interface is a requirement for you, raise it with us before you buy.
How are courses translated into Welsh?
An AI draft is generated lesson by lesson using the platform's Welsh rules: a formal public-sector register, correct mutations after numbers, and Welsh terms in preference to English loanwords. You then review and edit it side by side with the English. AI output is a first draft, so we recommend a Welsh speaker checks it before learners see it.
Are certificates and emails sent in Welsh?
Yes. System emails such as enrolment and certificate notifications are sent in each learner's language, and a certificate is issued in the language the learner was using, with that wording frozen at issue. Custom email templates you design yourself are single-language. Read more about programme certificates.
