Bi-lingual labelling of the forum

[wherenow]

Given the facts below;

1. That this is an Irish Republican Website.

2. The revival of our language is a goal of all republican groups mentioned on this forum

3. The failure of Dublin governments to develop an effective strategy to support the language

4. There is an ongoing campaign for an Irish language Act in the six counties

5. There are on gong attacks on that language by Unionist politicians due to its having no value.

6. The growth in children going to all Irish schools.

Given these facts, and others you may wish to mention, is it not time this forum was labeled bi-lingually?

[MarkyMark]

just moved this to the feedback/suggestions thread.

Yes i agree that the site should be made bilingual where possible

[Daithí]

good idea, dunno how technically possible it would be

[HimThere]

if it can be done i dont really see any good reason y some1 would have a problem with this, if they can speak it or not

[DFCRFB]

good idea.

ive no problem with it but i can speak very little irish.

completely agree wherenow...although i can barely speak it...
the irish language needs much more promotion...

[Seabird]

Good idea wherenow. Did you happen to read the article in the Irish Times about all cigarette packages will now have the label warnings in english and irish? What an awesome move, fair play to the ones that fought this issue and WON! Every battle won brings us closer to our goal!

Aontaim leat.

I agree. At this time it is all about small victories leading to the big one. The more we hear and see irish being used ieveryday situations, the more we know that 800 years of foreign rule has not defeatd us.

I hit don't know for the simple reason you offered no alternetive to having the entire forum or hating the irish langauge...
I am all for reviving the irish langauge to the point where it becomes an completely primary language for this country, in the meantime this is a republican forum 1st and an irish language forum 2nd.
Irishrepublican.net it remains...

It says bi-lingual mickyk200. You know, like the road signs. Don't get yer knickers in a twist. No one is stopping you from discussing politics as Béarla.:)

[robertemmett]

good idea. my irish is non existant, my english is no good.

on the flipside, i am really good at math.

[wherenow]

Ceann dénártha duitse.

OK binary code labeling for you.

YEOOO!

[Ruairí]

I think it is a very good idea. It may actually help us intermediate Irish learners to learn just a bit more Irish :) Unfortunately, I don't think that vBulletin currently has any Irish language packs that can be loaded into the forums. I took a look myself this morning and I did not see anything :(.

Perhaps we can start some sort of contribution to the vBulletin community where those of us who speak Irish can help translate vBulletin forum software so we, as well as others, can have Irish forum software! What do you all think of that? :)

[wherenow]

An Mhaith

Great idea Ruairi

[FIM-92]

Going to give this one a shot, and the team will pull together to use Gaelige as much as possible. :)

Go raibh mile maith agat :)

bleh! my point being that this forum isn't entirly devoted to the irish language

i dont think that was his point i believe hes trying to find unique ways to bring gaelic little by little back into irish people lives. and hence this being IR.net it would be fitting to be somewhat bilingual.

Ar fheabhas! Is réalta é! :eusa_dance: :bow: :bounce::mbounce:

I am not opposed to the irish language section nor even inclding irish threads(ps. any chance of a translation for us non-speakers)...renaming the forum is a differnt matter though

[wherenow]

Ni mhaith linn an ainm a athu?

I don't think anybody wishes to change the name. It is simply to label the headings in English and Irish. Things like new post, links, search etc. The website address would stay the same, but on the forum it might also have the Irish Translation next to it.

[JPL]

Working on them right now wherenow.. If you notice any mistakes, message me.

[FIM-92]

Well done JPL, thanks!

he didnt say the name of the forum just when you see the internation section itll say it in english and gaelic.. i believe thats the idea anyways.

You should put up a beta page in the Irish forum with all the terms you plan to use that people can look over.

ah right!
that's grand...can I change my vote?

[VzN]

It is good to have our language here for 2 reasons - pride in the tongue and a sign of our republican ideals.
