People on social media have responded to a Welsh language error on a supermarket sign. In a Tesco supermarket in Swansea, one shopper found that a list of various soft drinks on one aisle included the word 'sboncen' for squash.
As some of us may know, the Welsh word 'sboncen' refers to the sport game of squash in which two or four players strike a ball with their rackets in a four-walled court. However, this is not the same word used for the squash that you drink.
According to some Welsh language dictionaries, the correct translation would be 'diodydd frwythau', which literally translates as 'fruit drinks'. However, the Welsh Government website TermCymru suggests that the relevant translation should be 'sgwosh'. The photograph of the error was shared on Twitter by Andy G, with the caption: "Quality example of its type from Tesco in Swansea. Maybe don’t use Google for the translations next time."
