Google to translate 'as Gaeilge' [IrishTimes.com]
- Published: 27 August 2009
Irish speakers will from today have a useful online tool to translate web pages into their first language, with the expansion of Google's Translate service to include Gaeilge. Google has launched a full suite of translation tools in Irish.
The service can be used to translate specific web pages or text, as well as to search English web pages using Irish keywords. The results can be translated from any of 51other languages into Irish. Google cites the example of an Irish-speaking internet user planning an African safari.
Web results about safari tour companies in English, French or another language can be translated into Irish in "a fraction of a second" using the Google tool. Users can also paste text or a URL for a particular webpage in any of the 51 supported languages and receive a translation in Irish immediately via Google Translate.
