Very wicked of me but every once in a while when i see a request for a translation... especially if they're gonna get a tattoo... i want to give some translation about sleeping with a sheep... reminds me of those celebrities who get mistranslations tattooed on themselves

Actually it's because my grandfather died recently and he was the last person I knew who spoke the language and I wanted to pay tribute to what a wonderful person he was by getting something made for him with that inscribed on it... Help would be much appreciated. Ta

I urge you to find a Gaelic translation service and to pay for a translation!

Too many foreigners (and Scots, who don't have Gaelic as their first language) request free translations. The worry is: what you are actually going to have permanently inked onto your body - and whether it is a real translation, rather than cod-Gaelic.
