    I am looking for some help translating some classroom jobs into irish.

    Helping hands-maybe lámh chúnta?

    Giving out the bags - a Thabhairt amach na máláí??

    Line leader ? Has me stumped!

    There is a gaeilge forum.
    These might help -

    Fadas:

    On Mac alt+vowel, on PC ctrl-alt plus vowel, I think, on iPhone/iPad hold finger gently on vowel and a selection of accented vowels will pop up, don't know others but other people may help.

    áéíóú!

    You might like this great dictionary site, by the way:

    http://www.teanglann.ie/ga/

    - not so much for literal translations, but great for audio of words and phrases you're doubtful about, and for normal usage of words. Lots and lots of examples. I think it's actually the Ó Dónaill dictionary online.

    For file leader it gives 'ceann treasa'. Would be nice to have a special Ceann Treasa badge for the person of the day or week…

    I have a feeling the Department actually has a leaflet of Irish terms for classrooms…?

    Lámha cúnta (if you want it to be in the plural)
    Tabhairt amach na málaí
    Maor Líne (could work, I like the suggestion above too)

    Between teanglann.ie, tearma.ie, potafocal.com and An Foclóir Beag, there are loads of good reaources for figuring this stuff out.
