Thanks Zainab, but that sets the display language of the application, not the language of the document. And in any case the list of languages doesn't include Welsh.

I'm not sure about adding multiple languages but you can install default languages from Creative Cloud CC Account go to preferences then Apps. Hope this gives you a temp fix.
