About Us

Irish Gaelic Translator.com offers Irish language translations on its community forum. Irish Gaelic Translator.com's translation forum has evolved into a learning resource for those interested in the Irish language. The Irish language, with its complex grammar rules, doesn't lend itself well to the ready-made on-line translators that are available today for other languages like Spanish or French (those automatic translators that do exist are simply not reliable). The site offers a forum for people seeking Irish translations to have their requests answered in a timely manner by the site's generous and helpful voluntary translators.

Since 2002, the site has built a community of volunteer translators hailing from Ireland, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Estonia, and further afield. A constant stream of new people looking to learn Irish are discovering the site. In March 2008, the site reached the milestone of a total of 500,000 posts on its forum.

The goal of Irish Gaelic Translator.com is to foster love of the Irish language and hopefully to spark an interest for visitors in learning the language. The forum not only contains translation requests, but also provides a platform for discussion about the Irish language and other related topics.

Irish Gaelic Translator.com was founded as a personal project by Eoin Ó Conchúir, a computer science graduate from Ireland. Eoin was raised with Irish being spoken constantly in the family, which formed his love for the language. The site is helping to generate awareness and interest in the language not only in Ireland but across the world. The language itself needs active participation by its own speakers to help revitalise it. By encouraging people in other countries to learn the language, it may help Irish people to feel a sense of urgency using their language on a daily basis".
