presumably the rest come from closing other web services

like the proposal to close BBC Food - oh dear!

More realistically

what benefit does the BBC gain from translating their news into 30 different
languages?

Two of those other languages are British ones.

Welsh I can understand spending money on, but spending money on a radio & TV
station for scots gaelic which is spoken by barely a few thousand people in
the western isles is an extravagance too far IMO. They'd be far better off
putting more money into scottish regional programming.
