Young Immigrants Urged to Czech Out SpunOut

SpunOut.ie, the pioneering web driven national youth organisation, is thrilled to announce that it is now fluent in fifty languages. From now on its many users will be able to translate the popular website into languages including Polish, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic and also our native Irish language. It means that SpunOut.ie's 5,000 pages of quality content can now be translated at the click of a mouse, ensuring more young people in an increasing diverse Ireland can receive information on sexual and mental health, find support services and engage with other young people on health, social and political issues.

Commenting on the new development Ruairí Mc Kiernan, CEO and founder of the organisation says;

‘It is vital that organisations such as ours reflect the diversity of our country and work to address gaps where people aren't supported or engaged. Ireland's population make-up has charged massively in the last few years and it is vital that we support younger people who may be struggling to integrate into Irish society such as young immigrants or migrant workers. We are thrilled to have taken this step to ensure those who are more comfortable seeking information in other languages will now be able to do so thanks to the great technology provided by Google Translate. We reach over 500,000 users each year, including over 10% from overseas, but we're hoping this initiative will allow us to reach many more and really ensure all backgrounds and cultures are valued and respected as much as possible."
