To celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge and St. Patrick's festival, Maithú are launching two FREE Irish language applications for the iPhone and Google Android App stores.
The 'Get the Focal Irish Translator' is a two way Irish-English, English-Irish Translator with a database of over 13,000 words and terms which live in your pocket. It is quick and accurate, can be used for completing that Irish assignment, reading articles as Gaeilge, or filling in a ‘cúpla focal’ here and there. If you're looking for help with speaking Irish then try our full version which contains pronunciations for all translations.
It is great for Irish language students, teachers or enthusiasts.
The application translates instantly without the need to connect to the internet.
It is fun and easy to use with an intuitive user interface.
Content approved by the Irish language body, Foras na Gaeilge
The app can be found on the iTunes App store and on the Android App store as the 'Get the Focal Free Irish Translator'.
Maithú are also upgrading their existing 'Get the Focal' iPhone application to include:
