Translation - Irish-English - Música A Dream That Only I Can Know Jen Mahoney

Hi Bhatarsaigh

I should be ashamed of myself here as I am Irish by birth but do not speak a word of Gaelic (well one or two but I don't know how to write them).

I must admit that I heve never even been to Ireland!!

You live in Britain now, right? And have never been to Ireland?

Yes, I think you should be ashamed

Thanks to translation.

No Bhatarsaigh, I don't live in Britain

I live in Corsica I left England in 1985 and lived in Paris before moving here in 1988.

Where do you live? and how did you learn gaelic?

It's just that some of the words aren't translated properly. Also, it is translated very directly, so a lot of the phrases don't really make sense in Irish. It's close enough though.

Hi Aoife

I have a feeling that you have evaluated the wrong way round, by which I mean, you are basing yourself on the English text in order to check out the Irish one. Am I right?

The original text (the "source text" is the one that is written in Irish. The translation that has been done is into English (the target language), so I need to know if the English phrases are a loyal translation from the Irish.

Its a bit confusing at first, but you'll get used to the jargon after a few visits

Thanks for helping and welcome to cucumis Hope you enjoy it on here.
