Great news from the guy who can hardly pronounce 'Dun Laoghaire'

tosaigh

With a well-earned tip of the cap to the land in which Microsoft applications are localized into over 30 different languages, Microsoft announced today the Irish Language Interface Pack for Windows, and the imminent (September) release of the same for Microsoft Office -- just in time for the start of school.

Now your start button can read tosaigh, which literally translates to "kick off," "start up" or "move forward," and the rest of your Windows user interface can be similarly adapted.

The Language Interface Packs are free for download at this link.  They're the result of a twelve-month effort, and perfectly timed for the 20th Anniversary of Microsoft in Ireland.  Compliments to everyone involved in the effort!  Go n-éiri an bothar libh!

    Wohoo! ... Great news.... Now, I just have to learn Irish and then I can request Visual Studio as Gaeilge.

    Via Rob Burke, Microsoft made Windows XP available as Gaeilge (in Irish) on Tuesday. So now you can press the Tosaigh button instead of Start and rith rather than run your programs! This is the result of a 12 month...
