[Insect Overlord]

First of all, many thanks to Bard, simu, Gael, Hagar, and all the mods, posters, and contributors to the original resource list thread (which can still be found here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showt...p?t=2055614433 )
I've taken the old list and updated it to remove obsolete web addresses, and to add some new websites that have come on-line over the past 11 years. This thread would have been far more difficult to compile without the efforts of those previous posters. Míle buíochas, a chairde. I'm sure I've forgotten a few notable websites and resources, so feel free to add more or to contact the mods about adding more to the list.

IRC - Internet Relay Chat

As per Cloud's original thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=185935

There is still an IRC channel to use for random chats. IRC is a like a chat room. Here's how to use it.

1. Go to >>> http://webchat.quakenet.org/
2. Type in a nickname for yourself (no spaces, use _)
3. In channel, type #Gaeilge
4. and that's it!

If you like IRC, you may want to use a program instead (which has more options, and an ability to turn on sound so you know when there's new messages)

To start simply download mIRC here and install as you would any other program.

Run IRC and select Tools > Options. This screen should be the first thing you see upon running the program.

Fill in the basic details, i.e. Your alias, and an alternative (just in case! Great minds think alike ) and an e-mail address.

Click the "Servers" tab. Open the "QuakeNet" folder and select a server.

Go back to the "Connect" tab and click connect.

Finally click Commands > Join channel

Insert "#Gaeilge" into the field and there you go!

Anyone else with @ before their name is an admin in the room.

How to: an síneadh fada

On most mobile phones, pressing and holding the vowel key will give you the option to slide and select that vowel with an accent.

On a standard keyboard, pressing the "Alt Gr" key with the required vowel will produce it with the síneadh fada.
(Some language settings may require Ctrl + Alt + vowel.)

It's what's called a modifier key. For example you can use it to put in stuff like
AltGr + C = ©
AltGr + R = ®

As well as symbols like: ¼½¾¥×÷¿¶×÷§Æ¢µ

Therefore,
AltGr + A = á
AltGr + E = é
AltGr + I = í
AltGr + O = ó
AltGr + U = ú

AltGR + Shift + A = Á
AltGR + Shift + E = É
AltGR + Shift + I = Í
AltGR + Shift + O = Ó
AltGR + Shift + U = Ú

The (free) SwiftKey keyboard app can also be quite useful for typing/texting in Irish.

SwiftKey is an input method for Android and iOS devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
