Dia duit!

Since I'm still a beginner, I won't try to embarrass myself in Irish.:)

A few of us have started an online petition to add an Irish Language setting to Facebook. With over 300,000 speakers and students of the language, we believe it to be a worthy cause.

Please take a moment to sign, and pass this link to anyone else you think may be interested.

Go raibh maith agat!:)

Actually it already has an Irish version (even though the Irish translations are not always good...). I use Facebook in its Irish version...

I believe you need to sign up as a translator in order to get the Irish-language setting as an option. It doesn't appear as an option for the masses, probably because the localization hasn't been finalized.

Yep, ní fheicim é. I can see a big list of languages, but no Gaeilge.

Do scríobh Domhnall:
"I believe you need to sign up as a translator in order to get the Irish-language setting as an option. It doesn't appear as an option for the masses, probably because the localization hasn't been finalized."

Sin é go díreach.

1. Murar shuiteáil sibh an fheidmhchlár (Translations), suiteálaigí anois í den nasc seo: http://www.facebook.com/translations/.

2. Tar éis an tsuiteála, roghnaigí "Gaeilge" as an liosta ar an chlé, agus cliceálaigí ar "Go Translate".

3. Caithaigí bhur vótaí ar na téarmaí a dtaitníonn libh, nó cruthaigí bhur gcuid téarmaí más mian libh.

Nuair a bheidh sibh in bhur Translator, ceapaim go mbeidh bhur leathanaigh LeabharAghaidh i nGaeilge.
