Welsh translation error on car park road sign branded 'shameful'

A car park road sign showing the wrong translation in Welsh has been described "shameful". The words 'dim cofnod' has been used for no entry three times near an Aldi store in the Conwy town of Llandudno.

Although 'dim cofnod' does literally translate as 'no entry', the term is more often used for book-keeping and actually means 'no record' in Welsh. In the context of traffic however, the correct term would be 'dim mynediad'.
