It's been confirmed that the Welsh language emergency alert test sent out on phones contained a spelling error.
People took to social media to point out and criticise the mistake.
A Government spokesperson said: ‘A technical error caused one word in the Welsh language version of the emergency test alert to be misspelt.One person said on Twitter: ‘What is ‘yn Vogel’ meant to mean @ukgovwales? ‘This has been in the headlines for weeks and weeks and weeks and you couldn’t find a single person to proofread the Cymraeg translation?’The government has said it will launch a probe into why it wasn’t sent to all users.
Once established, the emergency alert system is designed to warn the public if there is a danger to life nearby. In future, a similarly loud notification and message will be sent to those the UK Government is seeking to reach.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
