The Welsh assembly for funding options if it's going to be used in schools
in Wales rather than something sane. Otherwise they are probably just
going to have to pay for translation like anyone else.

(sorry but IMHO the BBC Micro Bit is a joke, its a corporate welfare
project to produce something overpriced and under-useful that will have no
value outside school and is different to what every one else on the
planet is adopting). It's the perfect example of the BBC being made by
government to meddle in and compete with the commercial sector for no
reason, as well as being basically built on a pile of proprietary
toolchains.
