Breakthrough for Gaels as Gúgaill goes as Gaeilge

IRISH speakers can finally use the internet to find and view search results on foreign language websites in their native tongue.

Yesterday, internet search engine giant Google announced the launch of a full suite of translation tools “as Gaeilge”.

The service can be used to translate specific web pages or text, as well as search English web pages using Irish keywords, and have the results translated from any of 51 other languages into Irish.
