Translating a story

    It's about putting the transcript that I have painstakingly made of a traditional story, back into Irish. This is quite a large undertaking and I don't always have the time or energy to keep on at it, but I'd be most grateful if someone could help me out with it bit by bit. My Irish isn't very good and I'd prefer it to be in Munster.
    Are there any takers?

    What's the word-count like?

    It's 21 pages, but obviously I'm doing it bit by bit, not all at once - à la petite semaine as we say here and some of it has already been done. It's mainly corrections I'm looking for from time to time. It's called Féidlim Tonn Ri's Castle and it's another version of the King of Ireland's Son - and there seem to be so many of them as Gaeilge.
