    I was playing around with PHP this morning and created an online tool that restores the ponc séimhithe for Irish words.

    http://cliceail.com/gaelic-type/

    Not sure if it would be of much use to anyone, but I sometimes like to print out Irish texts in the traditional script, and using this tool, you can restore the ponc séimhithe and then paste it into Word, etc, using your favorite Gaelic font.

    Any ideas, feature requests, etc?

    Is aoibhinn liom é, an bhfuil sé mar aidhm agat suíomh Cliceail.com a cruthú? (Má's ea, lean leis an dea-obair!)

    I love it! I works very smoothly! Keep up the good work! :)

    Suggestions/Problems:
    • Options for which script is used (The oldskool 's' confuses the hell out of me)
    • Doesn't handle fada's, and deletes them when entered

    Grma, a Chliste. Níl aon phlean mór agam don suíomh go fóill..
    cúpla tionscadail bheaga nuair a bhíonn an t-ám agam. :)

    - Changed the oldskool S.
    - Fixed the Fada problem.

    I may add more control over font & size if there is a demand for it.

    I am working on other small Gaelige projects, which I will share over the next while.

    Tá nasc ag bun an leathanaigh sin cheanna féin.

    The font alone won't convert your th, gh, sh, etc.. that's what my tool is for.

    I created a Macro for MS Word that does the same thing. Will upload it when I get the chance.

    Ní doiġ liom gur Macro atá i nGaelchló. Má leanann tú an nasc seo beiġ tú in ann na Poncanna a scríoḃ sa tslí ceanna a scríoḃann tú na Fadaí.

    Cé go ḃfuil sé deaċair na poncanna a ḟeiscint ar na litreacha beaga ḃ agus ḋ

    Áḋ mór
