Rhun ap Iorwerth AMN. Thank you, Llywydd. I visited Ysgol Glan MÙr recently and I spoke
00:05
to one new Welsh speaker, who was a pupil there, who said that what would encourage
00:10
him to speak more Welsh was to play EA Sports FIFA through the medium of Welsh. Now, I contacted
00:16
EA Sports and they responded, saying,
00:18
Rhun ap Iorwerth AMN. It would not be possible for us to include the Welsh language in EA
00:21
Sports FC24. Although we publish the game in 85 countries, EA Sports FC24 is translated
00:28
into 19 languages. Gadech yn egi bysfyn cymdeithasol.
00:30
Rhun ap Iorwerth AMN. Adding that it would take two years for them to play a Welsh-medium
00:35
version, there was a group of children at the far end of the Llyn Peninsula here on
00:39
Tuesday and they said that they would be eager to see Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft available
00:44
through the medium of Welsh. So, there are plenty of things through this new media that
00:50
we could promote. Would you join with me in putting pressure on these organisations, EA
00:54
Sports, Fortnite and Roblox, and try and get at least one of them to provide their
01:00
games through the medium of Welsh for children who want to use those services?
01:04
Llyr Gruffydd AMN. Well, of course, Llyr Gruffydd. I am content to raise the points that have
01:10
been raised by the Member. To ensure that things are available in sports through the
01:16
medium of Welsh, well, that's vital for people. And, as Mabynnaf Gwynfor said, when the sector
01:26
is changing so quickly, it's important for young people to have the things that they
01:34
enjoy available in English and to have that available in Welsh as well.
