Tue 01 Jan 2009Predictive texting 'as Gaeilge' now available
SPEAKERS OF fewer than 80 of the world’s 7,000 languages are thought to enjoy the luxury of having their mobile phones finish their sentences for them. Irish has joined that select group as predictive texting as Gaeilge has become available for the first time.
With the help of free software designed by Vodafone and Foras na Gaeilge, users can now set their phones to prompt from more than 25,000 Irish language words and phrases, with full grammatical support for all common terms. Announced in Dublin yesterday, Téacs will be available across all networks.
