Wrexham Council has approved a five-year strategy to promote the use of the Welsh language across the region.
The news comes after language campaigners previously criticised the council for saying the move would be too costly to implement. However, after being served with a compliance notice, the authority will now launch the strategy to help bring it in line with standards set by Welsh Language Commissioner Meri Huws.
The standards include the rights of employees to speak and use Welsh at work, providing Welsh language versions of HR policies and giving the language priority on bilingual signs.
It is hoped the strategy will help increase the number of Welsh speakers across the county.
A report on the use of the language in the area said it had been in decline for some years, dropping from 14.6 per cent of the population (18,102 people) speaking it in 2001 to to 12.9 per cent (16,659) in 2011.
Wrexham Council said it wanted to see the figures increase to 2001 levels by the time the next census is carried out in 2021.
Councillor Huw Jones, lead member for Welsh language, said in the report: "The council is ready to rise to the challenge and is ambitious in its desire to achieve the outcomes as outlined in this strategy."
