We do not agree with their practices nor believe it is an effective "translation". We worry that promoting such a project will lead learners to learn unverified material.

The #Irishlanguage is a minority language and deserves careful consideration.

An Caighdéan Oifigiúil: Chapter 1: The Article (pp. 1-18) - IrishLanguage.ie This is Chapter 1 of the unofficial translation of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil based off of the 2017 version. You can find all other chapters here.

We were alerted to another project surrounding the Caighdeán, which was "translated" using GenAi. They asked to collaborate, and we said no.

Our entire translation of the Caighdeán was created by humans who have studied the Irish language.
