Facebook-As-Gaeilge Cheatsheet – Part 1

August 26th, 2009

I recently changed my Facebook account settings to show the interface in Irish, and with more people using facebook each week for both personal and business use, I’m sure I’m not the only one struggling a wee bit with the screenful of Irish words that I’m sure I never learnt in school!  So I decided to gather a bit of info that should make the transition easier for those who, like me, need a little help getting on the Facebook-As-Gaeilge track.

So, you’ve logged in and changed your account to Irish.  What next? Some of the  terms you’ll see will be familiar to those with a junior or leaving cert in Irish, even if it was in the distant past :) .  For example:

Baile = Home

Cairde = Friends

Boscaí = Boxes

Notaí = Notes

Eolas = Information

Some terms you may not have come across before but I hazard a guess they won’t cause too many problems, because of their similarity to English (regular facebook users will be at an advantage as they will be familiar with the homepage terms and their position on the webpage).  These include:

Logáil Amach:  Log Out

Próifíl = Profile

Inbhosca = Inbox

Blocáil = Block

Then again there were some terms that were extra-deacair and caused me major confusion! Like…

Iarratas = Request/Demand

Trácht = Comment

Socruithe = Options

Fotha = Feed

Nasc = Link

Teachtaireacht = Message

Athraigh = Change

Cealaigh = Cancel

Cuireadh = Invitation

Déan Cairdeas = Add To Friends

Foinse = Source

Tabhair Sonc do… = Poke

Thankfully there were some resources on the web which are invaluable: Essential Facebook -As-Gaeilge  Flashcard Practice & various online English-Irish Dictionaries: http://www.focal.ie http://www.irishdictionary.org http://www.englishirishdictionary.com & http://www.irishdictionary.ie

Flashback Signage – National Concert Hall, Luas, O’Donnell Sweeney Eversheds

August 18th, 2009

Last week I discovered a cache of images of some jobs we have completed over the years.  Since they had been hiding in my colleagues PCs and memory cards, I decided it was time to give them an airing here.  This time it’s signage, and there are quite a lot of these so I’m going to spread these out over a few posts…

As mentioned in my previous post, I just discovered a stash of photos of our work that my colleagues had taken over the last few years – none of these photos have been featured on our website or blog, so I couldn’t resist posting them up here as a little mini retrospective of some of the nicest jobs we have done…  This time, Flags, Flagpoles and Outdoor Vinyl Banners
