In practice the number of Scots Gaelic speakers appears to be falling rather fast and it isn't our job to counter that. The number of Scots Gaelic speakers who don't speak english or the lowland scots dialect of english is also nill so english should suffice.
The number of Welsh speakers who don't speak perfectly good English also approaches zero, but I don't see that they're likely to go along with this approach either. Nor should they be expected to - "in their own language".
Of course, doing anything positive to help requires volunteers on the ground to do the legwork, possibly with arrangements such that they are able to wave the name "Wikimedia" around if it'll help.
