Welsh developer Arberth Studios is asking for help to translate Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches into Welsh as it’s not justifiable to spend £16,500 on doing it commercially.

“If we did find people to translate it perhaps we could give them something if we made something out of the sales,” said the firm’s Noel Bruton.

“Although the company is based in Wales, all three members are England born and raised and what little Welsh we have is not up to the subtleties of the 30,000 or so words contained in the Rhiannon materials.”

The game’s based on The Mabinogion, a standard Welsh folk text.

More on the BBC. Get to it, Welsh people. Cymru am byth, and all that.

In the words of an EA rep this morning:

“We were unable to secure the official Wales license.”

It popped up overnight that Wales isn’t included in FIFA 09, something Welsh fans are getting quite miffed about. Was Welsh football playing hard to get, or something?

We’ve left a voicemail with EA to clarify the situation, so hopefully we’ll get something more later today.
