Add welsh emoji lookups

[pjrobertson]

This change takes the existing emoji_i18n.jsondlgz and adds a #cy section at the end, with lookups in Welsh for emojis. Here are some screenshots of it in action:

sick (sal)	bed (gwely)

I'm attaching the translated json file for the Welsh, in case it's needed in the future for future builds.

cy_emojis.json

Where were the translations sourced from?

The jsondlgz is generated automatically from CLDR so it probably shouldn't be modified directly as it would make future updates more complicated. There was also already a #cy section in the json from the CLDR, is there a reason to replace it with a different one?

[pjrobertson]

Thanks, abb128! Many translations were missing for the original #cy section (e.g. some emojis weren't searchable, and / or only searchable with a few keywords or English. Also some important Welsh-context emojis were missing (e.g. Welsh flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 - note this is also missing from #en). It sounds like I should try and make those changes upstream in this case - presumably you're pulling from here? https://cldr.unicode.org/#translations-and-other-language-data

Oh, and the translations were created using a script with google-cloud-translate, and then hand vetted by myself (sampled). Google translate is very good for en<>cy due to the large corpus of en<>cy available from the Welsh government (Welsh ML is something I work on also) On Sat, Aug 23, 2025, 7:52 PM Patrick Robertson ***@***.***> wrote:

I see, yes CLDR would be upstream. I'm not familiar with the CLDR contribution process but you can try contributing there (let me know if you have any luck). I can see about including the json as an override for Welsh in the meantime

[pjrobertson]

Thanks, yeah I've just had a quick look at the unicode contribution process and it seems... Complicated. Will let you know how I get on, but an override might be useful initially!
