I've started to think of ALT text as a creative, editorial space as opposed to a basic description of an image.
I've long been of the opinion that where we tweet bilingually, the Welsh language should *add value*, not replicate.
The same applies here, imho 👇
@KerynSeal4 @turfcreative Out of interest, Keryn, what do you make of the alt text connected to the photography in the tweet below? https://t.co/o4HJ0x4bex

This was a lot of fun.
Nice to talk about the social that’s impressed me, and also some of the content I’ve worked on – particularly @YesCymru’s viral “Republic of Wales” night!
Diolch for the opportunity, @SproutSocial & @Cat_grl.
Special to watch @Topnav100 collect the #RTSCymruAwards Digital prize last night.
The winning entry, “Yn y Garej” (In the Garage) is a stellar example of content that fully exploits its unique audience niche 👉 https://t.co/diA42M1Eat
