Welsh language channel S4C is to broadcast a current affairs programme with Polish subtitles.
O Flaen Dy Lygaid (Before Your Eyes), produced by the BBC and broadcast on Tuesday, is thought to be the first UK TV show to use subtitles in Polish.
The documentary will focus on Poles who moved to Wales decades before thousands settled after their nation joined the European Union in 2004.
S4C said the subtitles were a one-off and it had no plans to do it regularly.
The arrival of so many Poles in the UK has led to other initiatives such as Wales' first Polish support centre, which opened in Llanelli last year.
In north Wales, an estimated 10,000 Poles live in Wrexham alone, which has prompted the region's police force to recruit Polish-speaking officers.

Probably easier to just screen it in Polish - may possibly be easier to understand than Welsh... even for the Welsh.
Certainly less spit involved.
