92. James Joyce, Uiliséas,  1984 (Irish Gaelic translation).

uiliséas | by | James Joyce | Breasal Uilsean and Séamas î hInnéirghe | translators | CUID A H-AON

On display is a preliminary version of a translation of the first three episodes of Ulysses into Irish Gaelic — one of the few languages Joyce did not know. Between 1987 and 1992 all of Ulysses was translated into Irish Gaelic in twelve small pamphlets.

Turning inside and out: translating and Irish 1950-2000.

Link/Page Citation
There is no need to recount the history of the wheel when writing about the invention of the motor car, but there is no harm in reminding ourselves that the history of translation in Irish is almost as old as literacy in the language. Versions of Lucan's Pharsalia, The Destruction of Thebes, the Aeneid, and the Odyssey were being written by the ninth century. (1) This tradition of translations from the classics continued with vigour until at least late into the fifteenth century (2) and was followed by equally copious translations of romantic material from English and from French unto the seventeenth century. There were also, of course, many translations of medical, philosophical, scientific, and religious works until the great rupture of the sixteen hundreds. (3)
This is to say, that Irish intellectual and literary discourse was part of the greater world in that unselfconscious way in which people accept themselves as normal until it is forced upon them that they are not. Conquest implies the non-application of normality to the conquered and when translation began to emerge in the late eighteenth century, it appeared as a revelation of the native to the uppers. This was particularly true because translation was going the other way. For a thousand years, the literature of the world was being translated into Irish. From the eighteenth century it was being translated out into English and other tongues, demonstrating that the power relations had entirely reversed. Translation is always a reflection of the power relations between languages and peoples. Walk into any bookshop in an English-speaking country and the number of translations from any other language, apart from old classics and the occasional exotic choice, will be between minimal and zilch. Browse in a bookshop in, for example, a Scandinavian or a Balkan country, and the number of translations, particularly from English, smacks you in the gob. I have never been in any bookshop in any country in any continent where I have not seen a translation of Frank McCourt's execrable classic Angela's Ashes. The only consolation is that the translation must surely be better than the original.

When the Irish revival came about--that broad general movement which energized the country and resulted in the Irish Free State--there was a sense in which it was believed that a modern literature and a new society could be brought about only by the translation of the works of the world into Irish. In those early years of the revival, classics such as Don Quixote and Robinson Crusoe were translated into Irish, and indeed into an Irish which was the most Irish of Irishes, so that you would never suppose that the sun shone ever upon La Mancha, nor that Crusoe's island was not Cape Clear without its inhabitants.
These examples were the exemplars of the project of translation which An Gum, (4) the publishing branch of the Department of Education, followed since its foundation in 1926. An Gum set about providing reading material for the new Irish-speaking public which was being created by independence and by the infusion of literacy in Irish throughout Ireland. In theory it seemed like a wonderful scheme. It paid reasonably generous money for writers to churn out classics in Irish, and most of the prominent Irish literary figures of the first generation of the new Irish Free State were involved with the scheme. Mairtin O Cadhain translated that most garrulous of writers, Charles J. Kickham, but bested him in loquacity; Seosamh Mac Grianna matched Joseph Conrad over many rounds; and Sean O Ruadhain de-Victorianized Dickens, as far as that could be done. Popular garbage was also produced, like the sleuthish stories of Freeman Wills Crofts and E. C. Bentley. While much cynicism has gathered around the work of An Gum, it cannot be denied that they did provide valuable reading material of both a high and a low order for the new Ireland, and they also provided training in literature which became exponentially valuable in the decades that followed its golden-paper age.
The translation scheme of An Gum began to peter out by the late 1930s and early 1940s. This was because some of their work had been done. They had trained a generation of writers and editors who now began to fly the coop and work on their own. Prose literature in Irish chucked off whatever shackles were enchaining it in the fifties and the sixties, and there seemed less need of an injection from abroad than ever before. But hand in hand with the growth of an original and confident literature came a resurgence in the work of translation.

Some of the most important work of translation into Irish was done before our period begins. It was not, however, published until much later for editorial, financial, and accidental reasons. The single most important example of this is Monsignor Padraig de Brun's translations of the Odyssey and the Divine Comedy. (5) I have no hesitation in saying that these are the two most excellent examples of literary poetic Irish based on demotic and natural speech in the entire twentieth century. Both of these are original translations with no English intermediary or middleman huckster. De Brun was an extraordinary scholar and person who was steeped in European languages and culture. He translated poetry and prose from classical Greek, Latin, English, Icelandic, French, and Italian as well as writing original poetry in both Irish and English. (6) He was a firm believer in the uplifting excellence of great literary works and in the strengthening of the connection with Europe. He had been involved in a celebrated debate on the pages of Humanitas in 1930 with Daniel Corkery about the nature of Irish literature and the direction which it should take. Corkery was more on the 'nativist' side arguing that as Irish was already a classical literature in itself, it had little need of injections from the outside and should build on its own genius. De Brun's point was that we were part of the main and should enrich ourselves with the great works of the world.
It may have been because most Irish speakers and readers were more sympathetic to Corkery's viewpoint, a viewpoint which was borne out by the great rediscovery of native Irish literature since the 1880s, that De Brun's work was left largely unheralded, and that his translation of the first book of Dante's Divine Comedy was not published until after his death. (7) While he does not try to emulate Dante's terza rima, a task which would be very difficult to do and to maintain because of the nature of Irish prosody, he does manage a regular rhythm throughout, so that when read out loud you are carried along by the surge of the language. A later translation of selections from the Divine Comedy by Criostoir O Floinn (8) deliberately sets out to imitate the terza rima in the belief that the form of poetry is itself its most valuable attribute and that Dante himself would have no time for the loose misshapen stuff now growing up. (9) True or not, it is a rare thing when we can compare two Irish translations of any work. O Floinn's is certainly more loyal in that official sense, and has a clarity and sharpness which de Brun's lacks. On the other hand, De Brun uses all his knowledge of the spoken tongue to fashion a rich poetry which haunts the ear. For every translation there is loss and gain. Ciaran Carson's version of The Inferno, (10) for example, uses the rhythms and sometimes the echoes of Anglo-Irish ballads which seems to move us from fourteenth-century Florence to the smoky halls of a music session in deepest Fermanagh, while Steve Ellis's Hell (11) is so deceptively simple and readable at times as to move uneasily into that unDantean region of limbo between poetry and prose.
De Brun's Odyssey, on the other hand, is a much more demotic affair. He uses long winding lines that curl through the story. The fact that it is a great story makes it easier to read, and there are times when there seems to be a marriage between the native storytelling tradition and this translation. George Steiner wrote that 'it is in and through the process of translation that a language is made eminently self-aware' and that the 'act of translation draws up a balance sheet, as it were, for the target language'. (12) De Brun met the challenge and organized his material around the normal speech of the people, but heightened and enriched it with his learning, meeting Homer on sea and on land. This is all the more remarkable, as poetry in Irish never really embraced the narrative tradition, saving prose for the normal business of narrative and poetry for states of heightened emotion. The only real native narrative poetry in Irish is that of the Fenian ballads, and these are usually short and sharp in their lines and presuppose a knowledge of the story already. If Irish had been stronger, it would have been interesting to see if any of his Homeric translations would have entered the language. An earlier translation of the Iliad done in the nineteenth century never made any real impact, as the language was in the throes of its great decline, and the translation itself was not particularly striking. (13)
A man in the same mould as Padraig de Brun is Breandan O Doibhlin. Both priest and scholar and former professor of French in St Patrick's College, Maynooth, he has worked in a similarly unstinting way in his efforts to make Irish a modern and a thinking literature. He has written several novels of thought and reflection and worked out a style of his own which is both poetic and cerebral. He has produced a prodigious amount of critical commentary and technical literary work, which includes an analogical dictionary of Irish. In recent years his main focus has been on translation, particularly from the French which includes versions of La Fontaine's Fables, Alain de St Exupery's Little Prince, and much poetry. Perhaps his most important work of translation is, however, his Smaointe or Pensees of Pascal. (14)
Pascal himself left about a thousand separate notes scattered around after his death, some very brief, and others longer. Editors have argued constantly about how to organize this material, and the first task of any translator is to knock it into some kind of shape. O Doibhlin does not follow any previous edition in its entirety but while making his own of the mess that is Pascal's random jottings, acknowledges the order laid out by Jacques Chevalier. He then has to provide a language in Irish to suit these thoughts. This has its own difficulty, since Irish had not really been used as a language of philosophic discourse in any sustained way since the great rout of the seventeenth century. There, is of course, a mass of wealthy material from that earlier period, but it can hardly be transposed holus bolus into the twentieth century without the dangers of incomprehensibility and some absurdity. There is the added difficulty that Pascal, for all his clarity, often used words in his own especial way, and this personal idiolect has to be similarly negotiated.
O Doibhlin manages this by initially explaining what the most salient of Pascal's terminology is, and then provides us with a brief French-Irish vocabulary. He also, with a wicked sense of humour, gives us a selection of Pascal's most famous thoughts for those who are too lazy to read the whole book. After that, we can plunge into it any way we like. His Irish is clear and uncluttered and brings a stylishness to the language that is logical and even cold. It is a language that is the opposite of De Brun's warm embrace with his Kerry Homeric talk and heroic flourishes. O Doibhlin's Pascal cuts to the quick, and though he is unfailingly courteous, you always feel that his words mean something. The purpose of a translation is not just to provide a style so that we can admire it, but to carry the message of the original. There is something calculating about much of Pascal's philosophy, especially his famous 'wager' which surely must be the most spurious and mean-spirited reason for adopting Christianity ever invented. But there is also an honesty which springs from his own lack of guile and search for meaning. These traits are perfectly captured in O Doibhlin's work. His selection of Montaigne's essay is also a cool (in the non-American sense) mogrification of that classy introspector. (15) While there is no such thing as stylistic equivalence in any real sense, you suspect that O Doibhlin has Gallified Irish and made it into a scalpel that can be wielded with some kind of accuracy as against the loquacity of the Irish mind which likes to show off rather than show.
One of the many criticisms of the earlier generation of translations was that it was unlikely that many people would read them, as they were largely rendered from the English and were readily available anyway. Thus, Sean O Ruadhain's masterly translation of David Copperfield, stretching to more than a thousand pages, although beautifully idiomatic was not likely to be read by many when the original was close at hand. A translation of Macbeth was certainly interesting, being linguistically closer to the original language of that much-maligned monarch than Shakespeare's Stuartish propaganda; while a version of Coriolanus gave more prominence to the translator than to the bard of the ford of the street upon the river.
One striking factor in the newer generation of translators--prescinding from the classics which are always a necessary must--is their introduction into Irish of works which are not immediately accessible or available, or indeed, longed for, by the average reader of literary English. Also and more, they are invariably translated from the original language, rather than being intermediated through English which is inclined to leave the core but to lose the rough and sensuous skin. This is not to suggest that these translations are always successful. Heinrich Boll's Dialann as Eirinn (16) must surely be, at least in parts, one of the most execrable translations ever made, while Marx's and Engels's Communist Manifesto for all its laudable sentiments is hardly any clearer in Irish than in any other gobbledegook. (17)
On the other hand, Gabriel Rosenstock has introduced into Irish a gabble of poets that most of us would not have encountered. He is our translator of poetry par excellence. He has translated from German, Spanish, Flemish, English, and other languages, and has been most opportune in choosing poets that suit his own genius and temperament. Because of his love of the haiku, the short sharp moment of revelation, the spark on the long road of dullness, it is no accident that he is at his best in dealing with poets such as Michael Augustin and Hansjorg Schertenleib who cut to the quick and the chase and the deep marrow. (18) Although the most hackneyed and threadworn and raggedy theme of poetry is poetry itself, there is a jumping truth in:
 Sometimes,
 The poet says,
 I can almost
 Hear them scream,
 The poems
 Deep down in the inkwell:
 Get me out of here!
 Get me out of here!
 Uaireanta,
 Arsa an file,
 Is laidir nach gcloisim iad,
 Na danta
 Is iad ag liu
 Sa tobar duigh:
 Scaoil amach me!
 Scaoil amach me!
There is nothing here to be translated apart from an aphorism, a twist on the belief that the poem chooses the author, rather than the author choosing the poem. There is no syntactical problem, no wrestling with form, no matching of phoneme with phoneme, no attempt at any kind of sound equivalence, and yet he lays the two poems together in such a way that neither of them is mauled or debauched. Rosenstock's simplicity is his great gift, his sense of seeming to say that one version in any language is as good as another, while at the same time choosing the right and proper sound in Irish to show that it can possess the world. His translations of Willem Roggeman, on the other hand, present a much more tasty challenge, and his turnings twist on the tongue which makes you suppose that Irish was never a battered and thinned-out language.
More exotically, in the newspaper sense, we have translations from languages that are deemed to be far away both geographically and physically. While Rashoomon is a famous Japanese story, made into a film by Kurosawa in 1950 and Americanified much later, it remains a classic of world literature. It is Irishified, along with other stories of Akutagawa Ryuunosoke by Sean O Durois, who was himself born in Essex in England which may be some kind of symbol of the internationalism of Irish writing today. (19) Indeed, another Englishman, in so far as this nationality stuff means anything when it comes to cultural translation, has provided the second translation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and his own wizardry and fun joins the author's with creative invention. (20) In the meantime, the Rashoomon collection is a fine introduction to Japanese culture. It must surely be a wonder that the quiet, reticent, over-courteous, face-smiling front of Japan can meet up with the louder, bigwinded, empty-garrulous, sly-grinning back of Ireland and make a connection. On the other hand, Ryuunosoke's stories are akin to fable and folklore however sophisticated, so that the simple-minded critic who sees Irish literature and folklore intertwined would have no difficulty in joining up the dots. There is, of course, no art to find the tongue's construction in one place rather than another, so that the best of us are unable to examine Sean O Durois's words as accurate translations. It is enough to say that they work.
Maybe more inaccessible than Japanese are those European neighbours of whom many are slightly ashamed. Those darkies from Eastern Europe are all very well to slave in restaurants and to muck about in the unspeakable joblets of the poor, but we might be better off not writing about them at all, at all. Aodh O Canainn had already translated from the Spanish, but his translations of the Rumanian poet Marin Sorescu introduce us to a writer who is both life-enhancing and troubling and gutsy. (21) His poetry rings with the affirmation of life as in 'Ar son na beatha mise' [For life] which screams at the end: 'Na geill, na lig uait an claiomh' [Don't give in, don't give up the sword], or in his exhortation to a soldier to 'Can amhran na beatha' [Sing the song of life] which on the surface is as oxymoronic as you can get. There have been other middle-European interventions in Irish such as Milan Kundera's pamphlet Croi na hEorpa, (22) and the stories of the Slovenian Drago Janchar (23) but the primary locus of sentiment has come from the west of the continent, and the artistic and subtle translations of Maire Nic Mhaolain from the Italian are particularly germane. (24) Exchanging the blue skies of Italy for the grey clouds of County Down is no mean achievement.
A feature from the first half of the century was the amount of translation from what were then called Anglo-Irish writers, but whom we now designate simply dull and boring. William Carleton, probably the only nineteenth-century novelist writing in English still worth reading, was translated by Sean Mac Maolain; the great stylist and innovator Mairtin O Cadhain rewrote Charles J. Kickham's truly awful Sally Kavanagh with even more excess of verbosity than the original; Seosamh Mac Grianna returned Peadar O'Donnell's Islanders to their native tongue. The second half of the century, was, however, more cautious in going down this boreen. Two projects are particularly worth mentioning, however.
William Butler Yeats, of fairy and ectoplasmic fame, was turned into an Irish writer by a collective of poets in a 1991 edition of translations. (25) They are amazingly well done, considering that translation can expose charlatanry quicker than any sleuth. Some poems, such as 'The Ballad of Father Gilligan' or 'The Ballad of Moll Magee' from his early period lend themselves easily to the Irish idiom. On the other hand, Gabriel Rosenstock's 'Amhran na poite' [Drinking song] must surely surpass the original since Yeats was incapable of differentiating between a dry white sherry and a wet black Guinness. Paddy Finnegan's 'Lake Isle of Inisfree' exposes the hollowness of the original with its honeyed lapping words and if it does not quite make the perfect jingle-jangle it may be that Irish is resistant to a particular kind of candyflossed nonsense.
The other great project worth dwelling on was the translation of James Joyce's Ulysses into Irish by Breasal Uilsean and Seamas O hInneirghe. (26) This began more than ten years ago and has been published in instalments. Some of it is stunningly beautiful in measuring itself against Joyce's own magnificent prose, but there are also bizarrities which rather add to the work than detract from it. It does give a taste of what Irish might have been like if it had not slipped off the map of the urban world, and was allowed to sing and to scream and to wobble without the policemen of grammatical correctness. It is, in truth, one of the finer achievements of Irish prose, and like De Brun's Odaise and Coimeide Dhiaga make the language a much better and stronger thing than it was by virtue of the wrestling with it.
Inevitably, I have been referring to translations into Irish until now, but the intercourse also comes the other way. Translations from Irish into English and other languages is not a bloodsucking enterprise, but ideally should raise the standard of the language and make it fly in the face of the world. Traditionally, only the most specific and rural and bucolic texts have been approached for elevation. Thus, Tomas O Criomhthain's An tOileanach [The Islandman], Muiris O Suilleabhain's Fiche Blian ag fas [Twenty Years a'Growing], and Peig Sayers's Peig have all been reduced into English. Very few, however, of the more imaginative and less documentary texts have been enSaxoned. Mairtin O Cadhain's great classic Cre na cille [Graveyard clay], arguably the greatest novel in modern Irish, has been translated but never published in full. (27) It is not difficult to see why.
The first few sentences set the problem. Cre na Cille is all talk, the characters are dead, but not silent, and they gabble on in the graveyard for ever and ever without end about all the petty miniflogging garbage that clutters up our lives. When Caitriona Phaidin, the principal character (if she can be glorified with such a name) wakes up in her grave, the only thing that is pissing her off is if she is buried in the pound plot or the fifteen-shilling plot. 'Ni me an ar Ait an Phuint no na Cuig Deag ata me curtha? D'imigh an diabhal orthu dha mba in Ait na Leathghine a chaithfidis me, th'eis ar chuir me d'fhaineacachai orthu'. [Now I wonder is it in the pound plot or in the fifteen shilling plot they have me buried. They went to the devil entirely if it's in the ten shilling place they threw me after all the warnings I gave them.] (28) There is obvious social snobbery here, the kind that goes beyond the grave. Life is about having one inch or cubit or zloty over your neighbour. The context of who lords it over whom can be easily explicated. If two people are stranded on a desert island, then one side of it will be inevitably more fashionable than the other. All those writers who said that we were equal when we died have the wrong end of the spade. Snobbery and class consciousness goes on for ever; money defeats death and conquers all.
The more difficult part is the charge and energy and taste and trust and tactility of all the words, which is the never-ending insoluble question of translation. The pound or the fifteen-shilling plot is easily explainable. 'D'imigh an diabhal orthu' is a more thorny problem. Literally meaning 'the devil went on them', it is not even Anglo-Irish Hiberno-bogtalk. The devil looms richly in Irish maledicta, but as he has been marginalized as much as God in the normal scheme of things, he is a prickly sprite to turn around. Crude Anglo-Irishisms and Synge-sayings suffered 'Their sowls to de divil', or 'de divil take 'em', or some such, but these don't cut no gorse no more. The difficulty is, of course, that if Irish is translated into any kind of Hiberno-English it will immediately begin to sound exotic, and its speakers will be turned into country bumpkins. Their Irish is the most natural thing in the world, but their English would be turned into something crude and ugly. There is the added problem that Hiberno-English is more or less dead meat now apart from a few broken-toothed hill farmers in isolated areas and will shortly be a thing of yesteryear. It is noteworthy that very few novels have been translated from Irish as the market seems to prefer the rural autobiography for its sentimental depiction of rural life and its supposed authenticity.
Some of O Cadhain's stories have appeared in The Road to Brightcity (29) and are stylishly rendered by Eoghan O Tuairisc, himself an important writer in both Irish and English. (30) And it is fairly certain that some of Liam O'Flaherty's celebrated short stories were originally written in Irish, but they are almost always reworkings rather than strict translations. Other writers have fared less well, although the progressive publishing house of Clo Iar-Chonnachta has brought out a collection of stories of four writers with the purpose of getting them recognized abroad. (31) It was subsequently translated into Rumanian, Croat, Albanian, and other languages.
The translation of poetry into English has been the most successful of all the genres. Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill is probably more widely known through English than through Irish as a result of being translated. She is also fortunate in having been 'reworked' by excellent poets themselves. In Pharaoh's Daughter, for example, she is translated by a veritable roll-call of the finest of Irish poets, including Seamus Heaney, John Montague, Derek Mahon, Michael Coady, Eilean Ni Chuilleanain, and Ciaran Carson, (32) while both Michael Hartnett and Paul Muldoon have translated two other collections. Some of these are very true and accurate, in so far as there can be such a thing in translation, others more quirky. 'Gan do chuid eadaigh' is made into 'Nude' by Paul Muldoon, and 'do bhroga ar a mbionn | i gconai snas' is muldooned as 'your snazzy loafers', and so it goes. At one level, poetry should be the most difficult of all the arts to translate, but in the hands of a master we can get a new poem that bears a relationship to the original, but that relationship is opaque. I see a translation as a black and white photograph of a sensuous three-dimensional piece of sculpture. You can see the shape and cut and outline, but the tactile rub and the feel is missing.
Frank Sewell's translations of Cathal O Searcaigh are a much safer affair. (33) He honours the originals by sticking as close to them as possible and negotiates some tricky passages whose resonance in Irish is obvious, but which call up something else in English. Place-names and nicknames are especially part of time and place, and in the case of the pet-names of sheep, he manages to make it seem easy without pretending that it is tightly accurate: 'Raimsce na Coise Duibhe, Peata Abhainn an Mhadaidh | Bradai an Leicinn Bhain agus Smiogadan na hAitinne'; '"Scamp" with the black feet, the "river minder", | the "white-cheeked Braddy" and "Gorsegobbler".' On the other hand, a poem in honour of Jack Kerouac which he cleverly turns into 'Let's Hit the Road, Jack' has already the American slang available to him, and he does not need to search for 'equivalents' for O Searcaigh's richly patterned language. Very few of the Irish poets have translated their own work, even though they are all fluent in English, and in many cases it is their mother tongue. Louis de Paor is one of the exceptions. He did the facing translations for Aimsir Bhreicneach: Freckled Weather, but this may have been partly prompted by his living in Australia where the pickings for poetry in Irish must be very thin indeed. (34)
There certainly has been a revival in the work of translation during the last decade in particular. While not matching the flow of work which was Government sponsored in the 1930s and 1940s, the quality of much of the new wave is often excellent. (35) An Gum have also republished some of their earlier works, making them available for new readers. The relationship of translations to the encouragement of new original literature is a troubling and difficult one. The earlier scheme provided some training for writers in their wrestling with language. More recent translations are more likely to be read for their own quality, and for their intrinsic interest. They also, of course, introduce very fine writers to a new audience.

Talk pages are the place to discuss changes and change rationales. Implying the rationale for a change within the page itself isn't the best way to go. Also, as above, "gaelicising" terms (without cite, source or precedent) isn't how we do things. Unless a term has an existing Irish name (which is in common use), then we use the native name. We don't unilaterally "translate" proper nouns - not even as a joke. Guliolopez 21:16, 11 Aibreán 2011 (UTC)

Silim nach ceart é "Imshuí Toulon" mar theideal ar an alt seo, agus gur cirte "Léigear Toulon". Tharla Léigear Toulon i 1793, agus b'ann a fuair Napoléon ardú chéime ó Chapitain go Général de Brigade. Tharla Céad Imshuí Toulon i 1804-1805, imshuí cabhlaigh inar choinnigh loingeas Sacsanach (faoi stiúr Nelson) loingeas Francach (faoi stiúr Villeneuve) i gcalafort Toulon, roimh Cháth Trafalgar, agus Dara Imshui Toulon, imshuí cabhlaigh arís, idir 1810-1815.

Medical Translation Project
	Invitation to the Medical Translation Project – a joint Wikimedia project started by the English language WikiProject Medicine!
Thank you for being one of the top Medical editors! I want to use this opportunity to introduce you to our most ambitious project.
We want to use Wikipedia to spread knowledge where it will be used. Studies have shown that Wikipedia is the most common resource of medical knowledge, and used by more people than any other source! We want high quality articles, available to everyone, regardless of language ability. It isn't right that you would need to know a major language to get hold of quality content!
That is why in the recent Ebola crisis (which is still ongoing) we translated information into over 70 languages, many of them small African languages. This was important, as Wikipedia was also shown to be the biggest resource used in Africa for information on Ebola! We see tremendous potential, but also great risks as our information needs to be accurate and well-researched. We only translate articles that have been reviewed by medical doctors and experts, so that what we translate is correct. Many of our translators are professionals, but many are also volunteers, and we need more of you guys – both to translate, but also to import finished translations, and fix grammatical or other style issues that are introduced by the translation process.
Our articles are not only translated into small languages, but also to larger ones, but as of 2015 this requires users to apply for an article to be translated, which can be done here (full articles, short articles) with an easy to manage google document.
So regardless of your background head over to our main page for more information, or to our talk page and ask us questions. Feel free to respond in any language, we will do our best to find some way to communicate. No task is too small, and we need everyone to help out!

<Small>I hope you will forgive me for sending this message in English – we also need translators for messages like this, and above all local language community managers, which act as a link between us and you. Also I can not reply on your talk page, so please go to our talk page!</small>
Thank you for helping medical information on Wikipedia grow! -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 15:37, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Rugadh é ar 1 Iúil 1944.  Is polaiteoir neamhspleách é a dhéanann an-oibre ar son cearta sibhialta muintir Éireannaigh, go formhór don phobal homaighnéasach in Éirinn.  Is ball é d’Sheanad Éireann ó 1987 agus roimhe sin, ba léachtóir ollscoile é.  I mbliana, shocraigh sé ar oifig an tUachtarán agus d’éirigh go maith leis ar dtús.  Tharla conspóid mar gheall ar eachtra a tharla 14 bliana ó shin faoin aois toilithe dlíthiúil do ghnéas agus cara leis a bhí i dtrioblóid thar lear de bharr na rialacha a bhriseadh le buacaill óg.  Scríobh Daithi litir chuig na húdaráis ag iarraidh trócaire dá chara sna chúrtanna. Ar deireadh, d’éirigh sé as an rás, ar mhaithe a  stádas polaitíochta a choimeád sa toghchaí. Taobh amuigh de sin, tá an-clú agus cáil tuillte aige ó thaobh cearta sibhialta an phobal homaighnéasaigh, go háirithe i 1998, nuair a dtáinig athrú sa dlí maidir leo.

Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Timeel39. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Timeel39~gawiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello. I repeat my request that someone from St Conleth's (teacher, project leader, whoever) get in contact about the (apparent) ongoing project. It's great that pupils are contributing to Wikipedia, but ideally those contributions would be managed somehow. Content added to the main main article space is subject to minimum standards, and (unless we can arrange something else) I'm considering following the guidelines (for content that doesn't meet minimum legible language requirements) and moving many of the newly created articles to page(s) in the talk or user namespace.

Is féidir "b’é" a scríobh más stíl pearsanta atá ann i do chuid scríbhinní, ach, de réir Graiméar Gaeilge na mBráithre Críostaí i measc graiméir eile (an Caighdeán ina measc), ní úsáidtear an giorrúchán "b’" roimh fhorainmneacha más scríbhinní níos acadúile atá ann. Fuaimnítear an dá fhocal le chéile mar /bɤeː/, ach de réir litriú na Gaeilge (.i. caol le caol, leathan le leathan) tabhartar i dtuiscint gur /bʲeː/ an fuaimniú ceart más "b’é" an leagan atá scríofa ann - ach níl sé sin ceart. Is é an chéad fhuaimniú an fuaimniú ceart, agus dá réir sin, agus de réir an Chaighdeáin, ní ceadaítear na giorrúcháin "b’é", "b’í", "b’iad", "’sé", "’sí", "’siad", "’s’é", "’s’í", srl. Is féidir go bhfuil samplaí dá leithéad le feiceáil sa Vicipéid - ach ní ciallaíonn sé go raibh an ceart ag scríbhneoirí na n-alt sin ar taobh na gramadaí de.

Plé:Cló Gaelach

le haistriú
The term Gaelic type, a translation of the Irish phrase cló Gaelach (pronounced ), refers to a family of insular typefaces devised for writing Irish and used between the 16th and 20th centuries. Sometimes, all Gaelic typefaces are called Celtic or uncial, though most Gaelic types are not uncials. In Ireland the term cló Gaelach is used in opposition to the term cló Rómhánach, in English 'Roman type'. Gaelic type is sometimes called Irish type. The "Anglo-Saxon" types of the 17th century are included in this category because both the Anglo-Saxon types and the Gaelic/Irish types derive from the Insular manuscript hand.

Besides the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, Gaelic typefaces must include all vowels with acute accents (Áá Éé Íí Óó Úú) as well as a set of consonants with dot above (), and the Tironian sign et "", used for agus 'and' in Irish. Gaelic typefaces also often include insular forms of the letters s and r, and some of them contain a number of ligatures used in earlier Gaelic typography and deriving from the manuscript tradition. Lower-case i is drawn without a dot (though it is not the Turkish dotless ı), and the letters d, f, g, and t have insular shapes.
Many modern Gaelic typefaces include Gaelic letterforms for the letters j, k, q, v, w, x, y, and z, and typically provide support for at least the vowels of the other Celtic languages. They also distinguish between & and  (as did traditional typography), though some modern fonts replace the ampersand with the Tironian note ostensibly because both mean 'and'.

The Irish uncial alphabet originated in medieval manuscripts as an "insular" variant of the Latin alphabet. The first Gaelic typeface was designed in 1571 for a catechism commissioned by Elizabeth I to help convert the Irish Roman-Catholic population to Protestantism.

Typesetting in Gaelic script remained common in Ireland until the mid-20th century. Gaelic script is today used merely for decorative typesetting; for example, a number of traditional Irish newspapers still print their name in Gaelic script on the first page, and it is also popular for pub signs, greeting cards, and display advertising. Edward Lhuyd's grammar of the Cornish language used Gaelic-script consonants to indicate sounds like  and .

Unicode treats the Gaelic script as a font variant of the Latin alphabet. A  lowercase insular g (ᵹ)  was added in version 4.1 as part of the Phonetic Extensions block because of its  use in Irish linguistics as a phonetic character for .
Unicode 5.1 (2008) further added a capital G (Ᵹ) and both capital and lowercase  letters D, F, R, S, T, besides  "turned insular G", on the basis that Edward Lhuyd used these letters in his 1707 work Archaeologia Britannica as a scientific orthography for Cornish.
* Ᵹ ᵹ Insular G (U+A77D, U+1D79)
* Ꝺ ꝺ Insular D (U+A779, U+A77A)
* Ꝼ ꝼ Insular F (U+A77B, U+A77C)
* Ꝿ ꝿ Turned insular G (U+A77E, U+A77F)
* Ꞃ ꞃ Insular R (U+A782, U+A783)
* Ꞅ ꞅ Insular S (U+A784, U+A785)
* Ꞇ ꞇ Insular T (U+A786, U+A787)

In each figure above, the first sentence is a pangram and reads:Chuaigh bé mhórshách le dlúthspád fíorfhinn trí hata mo dhea-phorcáin bhig,Ċuaiġ bé ṁórsháċ le dlúṫspád fíorḟinn trí hata mo ḋea-ṗorcáin ḃig,  meaning "A greatly satisfied woman went with a truly white dense spade through the hat of my good little well-fattened pig".
The second sentence (bottom line) reads:Duibhlinn/Ceanannas an cló a úsáidtear anseo,
meaning "Duibhlinn/Ceannanas is the font used here".
The second sentence uses the short forms of the letters r and s; the first uses the long forms.

Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Nieznany. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nieznany~gawiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,Keegan PeterzellCommunity Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Is modh iompair é traein a ritheann ar rian. Is sraith de charranna nasctha iad traenacha agus is féidir leo daoine nó lasta a iompar. Is féidir le go leor traenacha paisinéirí iad féin a bhogadh gan inneall gluaiste, ach is gnách go mbíonn siad ag teastáil ó thraenacha lasta.

Hi - DeirgeDel
I don't understand what you mean by Thaɼɼaingeán  or where you would fit this in   This isn't a word used at all on  Irish language sites and I never saw it before.
The Irish afterwards is strange in parts.  Fikrst I am not sure why the word 'luaidhe" is there and what you mean.   Also you don't associate the words nua féideartha  like this ... I guess what you mean is just a "new suggestion" and focloir.ie can give you ideas how to say this.
For the next paragaph, definitions in any language are tricky and I wouldn't make trouble for myself by attempting this, all the more so with many many other priorities.
Some of the basic words are inapproriate  eg bogadh / to move   ag teastáil / to want ...
I understand what you mean but a translation into Irish requires a quite different sentence structure ... and vocabulary for some words.
More generally, from your posts on other topics, I'd advise against using a translation tool as a way to learn Irish, particularly so for complex sentences and in the direction from English to Irish.   Translation tools are far more helpful the other way round, from Irish to English.  The problem going from from English to Irish is that you need a good level of Irish to assess whether the output is reasonable or not.  Instead, I'd study more grammar, more so gender agreememnt, adjectival phrases and the genitive.
Beir bua

Haigh agus fáilte. (Hi and welcome). Thanks for your contributions thus far to the project. Just a few quick tounge-in-cheek notes for you:
* "Fuirseoir" means "comedian". Not every actor is a comedian. (Use this noun/category more judiciously)
* "Meiricéanach" means "American". Not every actor is American. (Consider peppering in some other nationalities. "Sasanach" is a fun one. It means "English".)
* "é" is the male personal pronoun. Not every actor is male. (Saying "Jennifer Aniston is an American actress, and HE was born in 1969" would be silly in English. It's just as silly in Irish. "í" is the personal pronoun for girls. "rugadh sa bhliain 1969 í" is just better. Try it out agus beir bua leis).
Bain sult as! Guliolopez (talk) 15:34, 10 Bealtaine 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I appreciate that my above note was more in fun than a serious suggestion, but can you please pay a little more attention to facts and correctness? (Your most recent edits ascribed English nationality to a number of comedic actors who are clearly American. And didn't pay attention to gender in the case of Estelle Harris). It is frankly better to have no article at all than to have an article which is replete with incomplete half-truths and inaccuracies. Guliolopez (talk) 16:21, 11 Bealtaine 2012 (UTC)

: I notice that you are still not addressing the issues raised above. If you keep producing articles with incorrect info, we will just start to delete them. Please respond. Antóin (talk) 14:57, 13 Bealtaine 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Further to the above, you continue to add/edit articles in a way that is not entirely beneficial to the project. While we're delighted with your interest, many of your edits consistently include the same mistakes (including several that have been noted before). Please acknowledge and start to address the following points in any future edits. Otherwise will need to consider escalating as "Disruptive Editing":
# "Fuirseoir" means "comedian". It does not mean "voice actor" (or whatever you seem to think it means). Unless someone is definitively a comedian or stand-up (or primarily a comedic actor), then please do not describe them as a comedian. Or include them in the category.
# "é" is the male personal pronoun. Please don't use "é" when describing a female person. It's just wrong. (See previous examples above)
# Dates. Saying "ar an [DATE]" means "on the [DATE]". Therefore "ar an 4 Bealtaine 1976" means "on the 4th of May 1976". This is fine. However, "ar an 1976" reads as "on the 1976". This reads badly in English. It reads just as badly in Irish. If you are just putting a year, use "sa bhliain 1976" instead. See here. (And the other several dozen cleanups I've had to do).
# Nationality. Not everyone is American. Stop ascribing US nationality to non-Americans. Just stop. It's getting silly. (Also, please don't copy and paste infobox contents without translation. As here. "England" is not an Irish word.)
This project does not have the volume of editors to correct these types of mistakes quickly and organically. So, you either need to acknowledge the help that is being offered, and address these points BEFORE you contribute your next article - or we'll need to think about escalating. Where that escalation could include simply deleting any articles which have more errors than value. Guliolopez (talk) 18:01, 21 Bealtaine 2012 (UTC)
=== Further escalation ===
While there has been some improvement, the last "batch" of articles you created had several basic errors. Many of which have been noted ad nauseum before:
* Not everyone is a man (the "é" versus "í" distinction mentioned before)
* Not everyone is American (don't know how many different ways to say this)
* Omitting the fact that someone has died is an omission that borders on an error
As above it would be in line with editing guidelines to acknowledge and do something about these issues. While it's great that you're contributing here, continuing to create articles with consistent errors is NOT useful to the project, and isn't sustainable without some kind of action to address.

Hi. As much as it pains me to do it, I am forced to give you a final escalated warning on this stuff. Your last article was so full of errors as to border on the bizarre. (Your article described Brian George as a female American actor and singer from New York. Brian George is demonstrably a man, is not commonly known for his singing, and was verifyably not born in New York. In fact, he's not American at all.) If a vandal introduced this type of erroneous content, they'd be blocked very quickly.
If this was the first such occurrence of this type of factual error it might even be funny. But it's not. It's one of many. And at least the 5th time it's been raised.
Consistently introducing content with demonstrably false information is NOT useful to the project. In fact, particularly when it relates to living persons, it is especially egregious and actually damaging to the project.
Continuing to introduce factual inaccuracies (despite multiple escalations and offers of assistance) will have to be treated under the disruptive editing guidelines. Consistent failure to "get the point" is covered by guideline:

If the community spends more time cleaning up an editor's mistakes and educating them about policies and guidelines than it considers necessary, sanctions may have to be imposed, though it is rare for them to be permanent
As much as I will absolutely hate to do it, if you keep this up (and introduce more errors without engaging with the offers of help), then a short-term block may be required. Guliolopez (talk) 16:51, 26 Meán Fómhair 2012 (UTC)

(Blocked for one day under relevant guidelines for repeated "failure to get the point". Soft-block with no prejudice to long term) Guliolopez (talk) 13:58, 27 Meán Fómhair 2012 (UTC)

Since the expiry of the (above) short-block, you've continued to create articles with similar issues. While the community has thus far been able to keep ahead of the issues you're introducing, you may want to consider engaging with the offers of help. (If not with me, then consider reaching-out to another editor). As a reminder: "if the community spends more time cleaning up an editor's mistakes and educating them about policies and guidelines than it considers necessary, sanctions may have to be imposed".

=== Second block ===
Yet again you've completely ignored my note and have created multiple articles which are replete with factual inaccuracies and are of no use or value to the project. (Miley Cyrus is female - not male as implied by your edits. Tara Strong is neither male nor an American - as you indicated. James Coburn has passed away - so the present tense is inappropriate. Etc. Etc) This type of content degrades the project - as do the "empty" articles that convey no information whatsoever). I therefore have no choice but to block you again. Guliolopez (talk) 17:14, 30 Deireadh Fómhair 2012 (UTC)
(Blocked for 1 week under relevant guidelines for repeated "failure to get the point". Soft-block with no prejudice to long term. Although beginning to wonder whether longer-term sanctions required) Guliolopez (talk) 17:14, 30 Deireadh Fómhair 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I have given you fair warning over several months now (nearly a year?) that inaccurate articles are unhelpful (even harmful) to the project. Yet again you created several articles which described various actors as: women (when they are men), American (when they are English), dead (when they are alive), alive (when dead), and a lot of other sins of omission and inaccuracy. With regret, I am blocking you again. This time for longer. Guliolopez (talk) 20:15, 2 Feabhra 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Seems like you went ahead and created an account - which is great. Please however consider reading this, and - even if you don't care to reply - consider the recommendations and put them into practice. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 12:58, 22 Bealtaine 2012 (UTC)
