<P> On Android devices, user - created keyboards can be used . iOS devices have fully supported the Welsh language since the release of iOS 8 in September 2014 . Users can switch their device to Welsh to access apps that are available in Welsh . Date and time on iOS is also localised, as shown by the built - in Calendar application, as well as certain third party apps that have been localized . </P> <P> Secure communications are often difficult to achieve in wartime . Cryptography can be used to protect messages, but codes can be broken . Therefore, lesser - known languages are sometimes encoded, so that even if the code is broken, the message is still in a language few people know . For example, Navajo code talkers were used by the United States military during World War II . Similarly, the Royal Welch Fusiliers, a Welsh regiment serving in Bosnia, used Welsh for emergency communications that needed to be secure . It has been reported that Welsh speakers from Wales and from Patagonia fought on both sides in the Falklands War . </P> <P> In November 2008, the Welsh language was used at a meeting of the European Union's Council of Ministers for the first time . The Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones addressed his audience in Welsh and his words were interpreted into the EU's 23 official languages . The official use of the language followed years of campaigning . Jones said "In the UK we have one of the world's major languages, English, as the mother tongue of many . But there is a diversity of languages within our islands . I am proud to be speaking to you in one of the oldest of these, Welsh, the language of Wales ." He described the breakthrough as "more than (merely) symbolic" saying "Welsh might be one of the oldest languages to be used in the UK, but it remains one of the most vibrant . Our literature, our arts, our festivals, our great tradition of song all find expression through our language . And this is a powerful demonstration of how our culture, the very essence of who we are, is expressed through language ." </P> <P> A greeting in Welsh is one of the 55 languages included on the Voyager Golden Record chosen to be representative of Earth in NASA's Voyager program launched in 1977 . The greetings are unique to each language, with the Welsh greeting being Iechyd da i chwi yn awr ac yn oesoedd, which translates into English as "Good health to you now and forever". </P>
