English Irish Dictionary
Offline English–Irish (Gaeilge) dictionary with clear, accurate meanings
Offline English–Irish dictionary for students of Gaeilge
English Irish Dictionary translates words between English and Irish (Gaeilge) instantly and offline. Irish grammar and spelling work quite differently from English — initial consonant mutations change how a word starts depending on context, which is exactly the kind of nuance a bare word list misses. This app is built for students, especially those learning Irish in school, as well as anyone with a personal or cultural interest in the language.
