Meet user needs

User research with Welsh-language users can be intimidating if you’ve not done it before. Remember that participants often appreciate the effort to include the Welsh language in research and the design of services. Discuss with them what you can do to set clear expectations, give them options, and find a way of working that you’re both comfortable with.

There are some things you may want to consider before researching with Welsh-language users for the first time. Start by understanding the capability and skills gap in your team to know what you can do, how to adapt your methodology and what other support you may need.

User research with Welsh-language users is a growing and evolving field in Wales. Help us to explore and experiment with ways of working, better ways to collaborate, and develop best practice and guidance together.
