Turnitin AI Report Checker in Wales: Check Before You Submit
Wales has something no other UK nation has at the same scale: a significant body of university work written in Welsh. That matters for Turnitin, because its AI detector reads English but not Welsh. Here is how that plays out, and how to check your work first.
English vs Welsh-medium submissions
| English | Welsh | |
|---|---|---|
| Similarity report | Yes | Yes |
| AI writing score | Yes, where enabled | No, Welsh is not supported |
| AI-paraphrase detection | Yes | No |
If you write in English at a Welsh university, the full AI check applies wherever your institution has it switched on.
Who in Wales should check first
- Students submitting English-language essays, reports and dissertations through Turnitin assignments.
- Bilingual students who draft in Welsh and translate into English, since machine translation can read as AI-written.
- International postgraduates writing in English as an additional language.

Frequently asked questions
Does Turnitin detect AI in Welsh?
No. Welsh is not among Turnitin's supported AI detection languages, so Welsh-medium work receives a similarity report but no AI score.
Do Welsh universities use Turnitin?
Turnitin is widely used for similarity checking at Welsh universities, with AI detection settings decided by each institution.
What if my essay mixes Welsh and English?
Only qualifying prose in a supported language is assessed for AI, and mixed-language text can behave unpredictably, so check the English sections carefully.
