basic word translation, would be really good for traveling due to size and quick word translations. nothing on language, grammer rules etc. This is of note. This is scotts gaelic which is different than the gaelic you would see in Ireland... I had to check to see the how different. It is enough that you would most likely need this if going to the Highlands. Although most of them speak english - but if you wanted to speak their lanuage it would be different enough you would want a seperate dictionary.
