If the out of office was only in the Welsh langauge, it was probably only a matter of time before something like this happened. But at the same time, the translator might be forgiven for thinking that an out of office reply is obvious, no matter what language it's in. If the reply is almost instantaneous, chances are that it's automated. However good a translation agency is, it's not going to get the text back to you in less than five seconds.
