People from Wales have spotted yet another Welsh language blunder from the UK Government. The error has been circulated on social media after it was spotted on a government webpage relating to the oath of allegiance carried out during citizenship ceremonies, NorthWalesLive reports.
In English the oath starts: "I [name] swear by Almighty God" but the Welsh version starts with: "Byddaf i [enw] yn rhegi i Dduw Omnipotent". As pointed out on social media it should say 'tyngu' rather than 'rhegi' as the latter refers to the action of swearing or cursing while 'tyngu' means to swear allegiance.
There was also confusion over the use of the English language word 'omnipotent' for 'almighty'. There is no 'omnipotent' word in the Welsh dictionary and it was questioned why the Welsh word 'hollalluog', which is the correct translation, was not used.
