Foddee oo toiggal Manninagh nish liorish Google Translate

You can now know what your Manx-speaking friends are saying thanks to a new addition to a translation app.

Google Translate (on the application itself, not Google) has included Manx Gaelic in its list of languages, which is one of over 100 new ones added to the worldwide artificial intelligence tool.

It's believed around 2,200 people speak Manx and Culture Vannin says there are plans to double that number by 2032.

The Manx Corpus Search has already translated almost two million words from the native tongue.
