Why is this "Irish language toolbar" in English?

Hi Lars,
thank you for the comment. The features are there for anyone especially people who have not learned Irish before so for the moment some of the features are in English so that everyone can navigate the toolbar but you will notice that all of the new feeds etc are in Irish. The links to the main sites are in Irish also.
The idea is that anyone from any background can download the toolbar and use it as a link to the many services that are available and learn Irish as they progress. If the toolbar were all in Irish then some users may not understand what certain features are but this is not to say that it won't be completely in Irish in the future.
The toolbar itself is a working progress and is subject to constant change.
