I think I saw an article in the Irish Emigrant , some time ago, about an
Irish language browser. Unfortunately they don't have a searchable archive
on-line. They can be reached by e-mail at info at emigrant.ie or on the web at
www.emigrant.ie. Coincidentally, they are based in Galway<s>.

Note - most well-written software keeps language strings from menu and
dialogs etc. in a seperate 'resource file' - these files are then translated
and re-integrated with the program code.

Hi,

I require a browser in Gaeilge, a minority language spoken in Ireland. Can
Internet Explorer be customised in this way? The text labels on the toolbar
would need to be translated. So too would the words 'File', 'Edit' etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
