Hi Guys,

I am looking for the most accurate translation for the term "Cloud Computer" in Irish.
cloud computer referance
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

I have come up with:
Scamall riomhaire

or

Néal riomhaire

Any suggestions,

Thanks

Focal.ie tends to be the go-to resource for modern terminology like this.

It looks like néalríomhaire is the way to phrase it.

"Cloud computer" doesn't make sense to me as a phrase. Are you sure you didn't mean "cloud computing"? The whole point of cloud computing is that it doesn't happen on a computer - it happens on a network of computers.

As you'll have noted on the focal.ie website, néalríomhaireacht = cloud computing.

Hi MathsManiac,

You are right Cloud Computer would not be a correct phrase.

Focal shows cloud computer as cloud backup

But yes cloud computing seams to have a irish phrase néalríomhaireacht
