Request to Add Irish (Gaeilge) as a Translatable Language

Hi GL.iNet team,

I recently registered on your Weblate instance at https://weblate.gl-inet.com/ and I'm interested in contributing a full translation of the interface into Irish (Gaeilge).

At the moment, Gaeilge (lang code ga) doesn't appear as one of the available languages on Weblate. I would like to request that it be added as an option so I can contribute directly through the platform.

I have experience with other open-source translation projects, including OpenWRT, Ethereum.org, and LineageOS, and I actively contribute to Irish language support in various software environments. I understand that the usual requirement is to have at least five contributors, but even if that's not met, I'm still happy to take on the work of translating the interface independently and maintaining it.

I’ve already explored the /www/i18n folder on my GL.iNet router via FTP and can confirm that local translation is possible by uploading files. However, I’d prefer if the translation could be integrated officially so that it benefits all Irish speakers using GL.iNet products.

Go raibh maith agaibh – thank you for your consideration. I’d be delighted to help promote Irish language support in your ecosystem.

Best regards,
Aindriú Mac Giolla Eoin

Hi,

Thank you very much for your attempts and contributions to language translation.

Regarding creating a new Irish (Gaeilge) instance in Weblate and applying Irish (Gaeilge) in the GL GUI, I will communicate and evaluate with relevant personnel.

I was going to do a frivolous reply about translating Klingon, but now that I've actually read your post, I see you've got your shit together. :grinning_face:

I know a couple of Gaelic (as we call it here in Oz) speakers here, both good mates of mine.

Hope it all works out well!

@bruce thanks very much for taking the time to consider the request and communicating with the relevant team!

@2lame Klingon, that would be interesting lol, great to hear there are some Gaeilge speakers down under :slight_smile:

Added, please check

I don't see any changes... there is a message on a string which has not been translated -->

This translation only accepts recommendations, and are allowed by voting.

I can't added translations.

Added you to Irish Administration, please check if the content can be saved.

That's great! It's saving my translations now, thank you very much :slight_smile:
