Fuinneoige as gaeilge

If the latent gaeilgeoir inside you is bursting to get out, Microsoft has released some new software to translate Windows XP into Irish. Forget the Start button, now you can hit Tosaigh to crash your machine, erm, I mean control your computer.

As if that weren't enough, the busy bees in Sandyford have promised an Irish translation pack for Office 2003 by about September. And unlike that farce down in Dingle - where all the road signs were converted to Irish at taxpayers' expense and despite locals' opposition - none of it will cost you a bean. The download is free from Microsoft.
