Importance of Context

It is important to choose the appropriate term for a particular context.

Example: 'Attendance Allowance' occurs twice in the database. In the context of local government, the correct term would be 'Lwfans Mynychu' (ie, payment for attendance at council meetings), but in social services the appropriate term is 'Lwfans Gweini' (ie, a care allowance).
Where different terms are required for different contexts, an explanation is given in the 'Notes' box.

A note is also provided in the case of specific terms used in legal contexts.
