Title: Phrases in the English and Irish languages Post by: Kimberly AJ on January 04, 2013, 08:55AM I've found an interesting link that helps with translating the English words into a foreign language, so for those who haven't tried out before, I'm about to show you this:
http://translate.google.com/ If you want to translate English words into the Irish language, click on the word "Irish" on the language bar. Here is my example of this phrase: English: What is your favorite? Irish: Cad é do is fearr leat?

Sometimes the sentence or phrase does not come out correctly.
