"Dublin college re-branded with nonsense Irish name."

Bheadh áthas ar @fiosceirde.bsky.social comhairle stuama eolach a sholáthair sa chás seo agus i gcásanna mar é.

Dublin college re-branded with nonsense Irish name after officials ignored translator's advice
The City of Dublin Education and Training Board went ahead with the change regardless.

Tá. Mo chlann an cúigiú glúin ó thug mo shin sheanathair faoin nGaeilge. Níl aon dóigh eile.
Deirtear nach sábhálfaidh caint an Ghaeilge. Ní fíor. Ní sábhálfaidh ach caint an Ghaeilge. Caint i nGaeilge

Ceist do dhaoine ar tógadh iad le Gaeilge, nó atá ag tógáil a gcuid páistí le Gaeilge:

Deir páistí eile go minic le Cumann na mBan gan Gaeilge a labhairt. Mar a dúradh liomsa. Mheasas gur taithí chomónta í seo do pháistí atá á dtógáil le Gaeilge.

An amhlaidh bhur dtaithí?

Ní soctheangeolaí mé ar chor ar bith, ach thriail mé beagáinín anailís a dhéanamh don OPT áitiúil faoi minicíocht labhartha na Gaeilge in áiteanna thart anseo.

Thug mé faoi deara go mbeadh sé deacair léargas soiléir/iontaofa a fháil le sonraí ón gceist atá ann cheana.

Tá a fhios agam go mbíonn staitisticí faoin nGaeilge ón daonáireamh pléite go rí-mhinic, ach níor thuig mé cé chomh dona is atá dearadh na gceisteanna faoin nGaeilge ar fhoirm an daonáirimh

Cibé faoin chéad cheist, is droch-dhearadh ceistneora (a glacadh ó 2006) faoi cé chomh minic a labhraítear í.

An labhrann tú Gaelainn age baile/ cad í teanga do thí? An í do chéad teanga í? Minicíocht úsáide (atá ann anois go pointe ach doiléir), cumas labhartha agus suíomhanna úsáide. An firic is tábhachtaí ná oibriú amach cén líon cainteoir laethúil atá ann is dóigh liom agus conas cur leis sin

Bhí áthas ar Fhios Ceirde obair le Mara Duit chun brandáil ghalánta a chruthú dúinn féin. Buíochas nach beag le hardchumas agus ealaíontacht @poilin.bsky.social táimid iontach sásta leis an toradh. Croímhisean atá ag Fios Ceirde ná obair lámh le lámh le conraitheoirí ó chroíphobal na Gaeilge.
Ceannteideal mór “Cumas Inniúlacht Ceardaíocht” le téacs míniúcháin faoi phrionsabail an bhranda: dáiríreacht, nua-aimsearthacht le bunús traidisiúin, agus inrochtaineacht. Ar chúlra éadrom íostach. A large headline “Capability Competence Craftsmanship” with explanatory text about the brand’s principles: authenticity, modernity rooted in tradition, and accessibility. On a light minimalist background. Lógó dubh Fios Ceirde ar chúlra éadrom le patrún liath de shiombail ‘fc’ ar thaobh na láimhe clé. Ar dheis, míniú ar leaganacha éagsúla den lógó agus ar an gcaoi a nascann litreacha ‘fi’, ‘i’, ‘s’ agus an glyph ‘fc’. The black Fios Ceirde logo on a light background with a grey pattern of the ‘fc’ symbol on the left-hand side. On the right, an explanation of different versions of the logo and how the letters ‘fi’, ‘i’, ‘s’ and the ‘fc’ glyph connect. Léiriú ar chlófhoirne don bhranda “Fios Ceirde”, ag léiriú Newake mar chlófhoireann cheannteidil, Lekton do fhotheidil, agus Nunito don téacs coirp, le samplaí litreacha agus uimhríochta ar chúlra glas. A rendering of the typefaces for the “Fios Ceirde” brand, featuring Newake as the headline typeface, Lekton for subheadings, and Nunito for body text, with letter and number samples on a green background. Lógó Fios Ceirde i stíl throm shimplí le leaganacha éagsúla ar chúlraí maoildearga agus glas, patrún athfhillteach den lógó ‘fc’, agus favicon ciorclach donn is uachtar. Téacs míniúcháin faoin mbranda ar thaobh na láimhe deise. The Fios Ceirde logo in a simple bold style with different variations on pale red and green backgrounds, a recurring pattern of the green ‘fc’ symbol, and a brown and cream circular favicon. Explanatory text about the brand on the right-hand side.

Cheap mise gur chum Edison an bolgán solais ach ar ndóigh níl sé seo fíor, bhí neart daoine bainteach leis.

Daoine are nós Alessandro Volta, Humphrey Davy, James Bowman Lindsay, Warren de la Rue, William Staite, Joseph Swan agus ar ndóigh, an leanbh Íosa.

"The Irish language revival of today was not designed in government departments; it was built from below. It began in Pop Up Gaeltachtí, podcasts, community cafés and hip-hop... ...From Gaelcholáistí to pop culture, Irish slipped the leash of officialdom and went viral in the best sense."
