Welcome
Welcome to the first edition of the Gaeilge Chun Cinn newsletter, our new bi-weekly publication on the Irish language and English/Irish translation!
Anuraidh, d’obair an fhoireann Ghaeilge Chun Cinn ar scáth a chéile le haistriúcháin Ghaeilge a chur ar fáil de na físchluichí coitianta agus na meáin eile:
Hollow Knight - An Ridire Cuasach
Among Us
PUBG
As a small, volunteer-based team the work can sometimes be slow, but we frequently find ourselves having long, detailed conversations about the best way to convey a concept or sentiment in Irish. This led us to the idea that, in addition to our translation efforts, it could be helpful to publish abridged highlights of some of our more interesting or challenging conversations. We hoped that Irish language enthusiasts or those new to the language might find something of interest in them. Our published conversations might even invite translation suggestions from other amateur translators. Thus this newsletter was born.
It’s still early days for us with respect to publishing our discussions, so bear with us as we find our feet. But we are very much looking forward to hearing from interested readers, and working to improve this publication as much as possible. Just as our name says, we want to help advance Irish to the fore of the modern world.
