First you must give me:
- The translation code (for example, fr_FR for French in France, fr_CA for 
French in Canada, ...)
- The name of the language (OK, it's welsh)
- The name of the country (United Kingdom ?)

Then I will add the language to the internal list of languages of the gambas 
IDE (I didn't find a system-wide list of languages).

Then you will open the gambas IDE project, which is located in the source 
package at $PACKAGE_DIR/gambas-X.YY/app/gambas, $PACKAGE_DIR being the 
directory where you uncompressed the source archive.

Then you will hit CTRL+T to open the translation dialog, and select the 
language you want to translate the project into... Here, you can follow the 
Translation HowTo page.

But for the Welsh language, you need to add the language to the collection 
defined in the module Language.module. You can do it in the IDE, and then 
recompile itself. If you don't see what I mean, you must wait the next 
version (0.81)
