Hi Edel.
I would agree with Flor. When translating sentences or phrases from one
language to another, google translation tends to translate each word
separately. The result can often not make proper sense. If you want to
just read the translation, and just get some kind of jist, then try it by
all means, but if you need real reliability, its not really up to the job.

Edel,
As regards language translation, I wouldn't be too sure of that.
Computers still can't get every nuance of meaning and how a phrase is
used sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally.

Hi Joan Ann, Paul and Flor
Thank you for the recommendations. I want it to translate text as
opposed to just words so will let you know which works best.
Irish was never one of my strong subjects. I could have done really
well if I had the internet way back then!
Thanks again
Edel..

Hi Edel
You could try
http://www.irishdictionary.ie/home
It has helped me to find words when i've had to help my nieces and
nephews with homework.

Hi again
Can anyone recommend a website that will translate Irish to English
and English to Irish which is reliable and preferably usable without
downloading the programme. And FREE of course.
With Thanks
Edel..
