Re: Luckily

The turning English to Welsh though, any examples? Victorian era, same?

On language, I guess one example would be English 'computer', in Welsh 'fhtagn'. Or basically any Welsh word for any 20th Century invention that might have been better handled with a loan-word. Or there's St Mary's by the Pool, aka Llanfair PG. Given it's 'full' name to promote tourism. Or work for sign-writers. Or there's the classic 'Welsh Hat', where no pre-19th century examples appear to exist as textiles, or images.
