Here are links to a couple of Irish/English dictionaries. I have found the first one to be the better. It should be noted that the Irish language cannot be literally translated to English as the grammatical rules are different. For instance, the word order of a sentence in Irish is Verb, Subject, Object and an adjective follows a noun.
Days of the week:
Monday - Luan pronounced looan
Tuesday - Máirt pronounced mart
Wednesday - Céadaoin pronounced kay-deen
Thursday - Déardaoin pronounced der-deen
Friday - Aoine pronounced eenya
Saturday - Satharn pronounced sah-hern
Sunday - Domhnach pronounced dow-nock
cat - Cat pronounced; cot
dog - Madra pronounced; maw-dra
bird - Éin pronounced; ain
horse - Capall pronounced; cop-ill
red - Dearg pronounced d'yar-ig
yellow - Buí pronounced B'wee
green - Uaithne pronounced oo-ih-nyeh
blue - Gorm pronounced gurr-m
purple - Corcra pronounced cur-cra
hello - Dia duit pronounced dee-a gwit
goodbye - Slán pronounced slawn
love - Grá pronounced graw
hate - Fuath pronounced foo-a
evil(doing) - drochbheartach pronounced druck-var-tock
good -Maith pronounced mawh
You can get translations for names at the third site below.

You want Gaelic-English.
There aren't really any good Gaelic-English Dictionaries on line--though this forum could be useful to you:
