    Em that was me and my own translation? I don't know why your making fun of somebody trying their best to improve their langfuage? Especially making a thread just to humiliate me?

    And actually you must have google auto-translate on because that whole forum is in Irish not english. Welldone. Looks like your the one having fun with google translate.

    I understand how you could feel humiliated but I dont think that was the OP's intention!

    The point of the picture wasn't your post but the forum name under it, 'The House of Lunatics'. I think the intention of the post is to show that google translate translates Teach na nGealt to 'The House of Lunatics', as in that someone made a joke translation. But that is what Teach na nGealt actually means, to be honest I'm surprised that Google got it right :)

    Your post in Irish was fine, don't be humiliated. Google didn't do a very good job translating it to English!

    It was the mis translation of teach na ngealt I was referring to, not the post above it.

    I've edited it now.

    I noticed they took away the "Suggest a better translation" box. I used to always use that to correct the Irish translations, but I don't think Google ever read them!
