Irish translation

Maigheo21

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.

Ceannaire an line (fada ar an i) should do

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.

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.
