You have probably arrived here because you saw a copy of this message on your talk page, and clicked on the "explanation" link.

This note is asking you not to use machine translation to compose articles in Gaelic.

You are welcome to participate in the project but please write or edit without using tools like Google Translate.

Thanks.
