Welsh in the workplace won't help economy says reader

I see in your paper that more civil service employees are promoting increased use of the Welsh language in the workplace. As Wales cannot financially support itself, their non-producing positions probably means 70 per cent of their salary comes from elsewhere in the U.K. Moving to the Welsh language in the workplace will do nothing to improve the Welsh economy, in fact, it is more likely to worsen the situation by making it less attractive to business because of the translation of paperwork, etc compared to other places in the U.K. I would rather they put their efforts into finding ways to truly boost the Welsh economy thus reducing the reliance of Wales on others, rather than putting one hand out for the money and having two fingers pointing up on the other hand.
