How Netflix's Star Trek: Discovery Introduced Welsh in Its Last Episode

The Welsh language has been broadcast in the last frontier thanks to the latest series of Star Trek.

Millions of people who listened to the second Star Trek discovery series, first shown on Netflix last week, will have heard of Welsh.

The new series takes place 10 years before the original Star Trek and describes a cold war between the Klingon race and the United Federation of Planets.

The inaugural episode follows the crew of the USS Discovery, when they are suddenly shaken by a mysterious spherical field that interferes with the ship's technology.

As a result, Universal Translator, which translates each person's native language into English, works poorly and becomes inoperative.

The crew is left speaking a variety of different languages ​​of the Earth, including Norwegian, German and Italian, as well as non-human languages ​​such as Andorian.

Human Starfleet in charge of communication, R. A. Bryce explains, in Welsh, that the sphere answered their calls, causing cacophony.

Star Trek fan, Ioan Talfryn, has heard about the use of Welsh and told Golwg 360 that he thought it would help the international profile of this language.

"The fact that Netflix has considered using Welsh is a big thing," he said.

"Many people around the world have taken interest in hearing about him."

Although the producers did not try to caption the language, the text would simply read [Speaking Welsh].

The unexpected appearance of the Welsh language in the series has been a hit with Welsh Scifi fans, who have been quick to congratulate Netflix for recognizing the language.

Gresyn Gweld Gymaint or Anwybodaeth on BBC Lloegr. "

Iona Williams said: "Caru sci fi ……. sci fi cymra'g …. I do not ask you."

Samuel Montrose commented: "Live Welsh and Prosper."

This is not the first time that the Welsh language is trapped in science fiction.

The Welsh government raised some eyebrows in 2015 by answering a formal question from Clwyd West AM Darren Millar in the Klingon.

Mr. Millar had a number of questions about UFO reports in the Cardiff area at the time.

The Welsh Government replied: "Jang VIDa I owed luq. 'Ach ghotvam' e 'QI'yaH-deconcentrated. "

It means, "The minister will respond in due course.

"However, it is a non-devolved issue."
