MICROSOFT BRETON MOVES

Microsoft software will soon be available in the Breton language
thanks
to an agreement made last week between the Breton Language Agency,
Brittany's Regional Council and Microsoft.

The news comes just weeks after the League announced that Microsoft
will also be launched in Scottish Gaelic in September 2007. Breton
is now the latest Celtic language being made available by Microsoft,
primarily thanks to the presence of the respective national language
agencies working to further the use of the different languages.

With the addition of Breton, Microsoft will soon be available in:

Breton
Scottish Gaelic
Irish Gaelic
Welsh

Manx and Cornish are the only other two Celtic languages that
Microsoft
has, to date, not been provided in.
