Iechyd Da i'r iaith - App newydd Cymraeg/ Welsh language in good health thanks to new App

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ychwanegu at rhestr o Apps Cymraeg gan lawnsio 'Dewis Doeth'.

App gan CIG yw hon, i helpu chi gwneud 'dewis doeth' am lefel driniaeth chi eisiau pan ydych chi'n sal neu mewn damwain. Chi'n gallu chwilio am feddygon, deintydd a optegydd achosaf ar map neu chwilio am gymorth arlein.

Mae rhan fwyaf o'r wybodaeth ar yr app ar gael yn Gymraeg, ond oherwydd methiant Google maps i deall enwau Cymraeg, os ti'm chwilio am dref neu dinas, rhaid i chi defnyddio enw Saesneg.

A dyw e ddim ar gael trwy Android eto, dim ond ar iPhone a iPad - mwy o manylion ar dudlen Siop App yma  . Ond mae fersiwn Android yn dod.

Da iawn i'r Llywodraeth a CIG am greu yr app. Dim lot o apps Gymraeg ar gael o sector Cyhoeddus ar hyd o bryd. Rydyn ni angen mwy ohonynt.

The Welsh Government has today added to the growing list of mobile apps in the Welsh Language by launching 'Dewis Doeth'

The NHS app helps you decide who you should speak to when you are sick or in an accident. You can look for doctors, dentists and opticians on a map based or keyword search.

Most of the info on the app is in Welsh. But due to Google Maps' failure to recognise place names in Welsh, you can only keyword search for towns and cities through their English names.

And the app isn't available on Android yet - but it is coming, apparently. You can see the detail for the app in the iPhone and iPad App Store here 

Well done to the Government and NHS for creating this App. There aren't many Public Sector apps in the Welsh Language - there need to be more.
