I want my daughter to continue using the Welsh language while using her iPod and she has agreed to this also. I thought it might help her over the next few years as she is taking Welsh Full Course at GCSE level.
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.2
Welsh is not a suspported language and I could not even find an Welsh keyboard app for Welsh

One way would be to use a wireless keyboard with the ipod. There you can select the US Extended keyboard layout which lets you type the extra characters required, â, ê, î, ô, û, ŵ, ŷ and any other accents.
Another way would be use the apps Unicode Map or UniKey to create a sort of custom keyboard layout with the extra characters that could be used for copy/paste operations.
Another way would be to create keyboard shortcuts for the special characters in settings > general > keyboard > shortcuts.
There is no way to add a Welsh version of the menus and dialogues for the device.
PS I forgot, â, ê, î, ô, û are already available in the English keyboard by just holding down the base letter and choosing what you want from the popup menu that appears. It's only ŵ, ŷ that need some special action.
Welsh is supported, to a degree. You can change your calendar etc to Welsh by selecting the following:
Settings - General - International - Region Format - Ignore the first option for United Kingdom and scroll down and select Welsh (United Kingdom).
How can I put the Welsh language onto my daughter's iPod touch?
