Do any of the helpful Irish translator types on the list
know of anyone who would be interested in translating
a few sentences?
I'm working on a non-profit organisation's website and
would like to show a couple of introductory welcome
sentences in English, Gaelic and other languages.
Pardon my ignorance, but are there regional variations
to take into account? Recently when the Manic Street
Preachers (not Welsh speakers) produced some
Welsh billboards there was some criticism for using
South Walian idioms, that didn't make sense in North
Wales. Does the same sort of thing apply?
Thanks for any help,
Steve
