The new emergency alert system sent out a test message on Sunday (April 23)

People spotted a spelling error in the Government's mobile phone alert that was sent out on Sunday afternoon .

However people living in Wales spotted that the Welsh-written version of the alert message contained a spelling error and did not directly translate to the same in English.While in Welsh it noted "in a real emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe", people were quick to point out the word for "safe" was translated to "yn Vogel" rather than "yn ddiogel".

One user who shared the screenshot on Twitter wrote: "Spelling mistake in the government's emergency alert test this afternoon. "Yn Vogel" makes no sense cos there's no V in the Welsh alphabet, should be "yn Ddiogel". Carrots."
