Microsoft is helping Breton, among other Celtic languages

The Breton Language Agency, Brittany\'s Regional Council and Microsoft signed a three-party agreement today. The aim of this agreement is to offer Microsoft\'s users a version of its products in Breton.

A few weeks ago Microsoft signed a similar contract with The Agency for the Development of Gaelic in Scotland. Similar contracts were previously signed for Irish Gaelic and Welsh. Microsoft products have therefore versions available in these two languages.

This way Microsoft has joined other American computer companies such as Google and Mozilla (Firefox) that have already developed interfaces in Breton, thereby making Breton an official computer language in its own right. The free online cooperative encyclopedia wikipedia, open to 187 languages, has also already 13 000 articles in breton
