Abstract: Interlingual communication has always been important, but if there was ever any doubt about this, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shown it to be particularly true. New information is being released every day about travel restrictions, economic impacts, public health and safety procedures, and potential vaccines. Barriers of language should be removed where possible to ensure that everyone can stay up-to-date and safe, regardless of how many speak the language. Previous work has been carried out to aid rapid translation of COVID-19 related material in several major languages. However, absent among the languages served is Irish.
