English, and a few other languages in terms of defining or translating
terms. The terms translated can be single words or phrases. The
linguistic collection is solely of terms. That is to say that it is on
professional words of phrases that are related to professional
disciplines and not simply vocabulary that the average person would be
expected to possess. People using the Irish translation website are
looking up terms that are used in their line of work or terms that they
want translated when used by the Irish or English and some other
languages. For those interested in the linguistics of Gaelic, the Irish
website is very informational and easy to use.
