Use Welsh on your payment pages

GOV.UK Pay supports Welsh-language payment pages.

You can also create payment links in Welsh.

To use Welsh, include "language": "cy" in the API request when you create a new payment. Your users will see Welsh text on the payment pages as they complete the payment flow. If you do not specify a language, GOV.UK Pay will default to using English-language payment pages.

To add a Welsh service name to your service, sign in to the GOV.UK Pay admin tool and select Edit name.

If you add a Welsh service name to your service, your users will see this on Welsh-language payment pages instead of the English service name.

When your user makes a payment, they will also see a description. If you use Welsh-language payment pages, you may also want to use Welsh text in the description.

GOV.UK Pay does not automatically translate emails into Welsh. If you want to send your own emails in Welsh, disable GOV.UK Pay sending emails by selecting an account in the GOV.UK Pay admin tool and selecting Settings.
