Comharthaí Sráide /
Bilingual Street Signs
|
|
 |
Tá dul chun cinn mór déanta ag Comhairle Contae na Mí
le sé mhí anuas maidir leis an gComhaireacht Sráide atá in airde
anois ar fud bhaile Mór na hUaimhe agus Átha Troim. Is fearr na
comharthaí atá san Uaimh mar nach n-úsáidtear an chló iodálach don Ghaeilge orthu
a thuilleadh.
Cad atá le déanamh chun comharthaí mar seo a
chrochadh ar fud Átha Buí?
Scríobhfaidh
Áth Buí le Gaeilge chuig an gComhairle chun freagra a fháil ar an gceist seo
agus cuirfear aistriúchán ar ainmneacha na sráideanna ar fáil don Chomhairle Contae
chomh maith. - Féach thíos |

There has been a great improvement in bilingual
street signage in the towns of Navan and Trim over the last six
months or so. This is especially so in Navan as the Council no
longer use the Italic script for Irish.
What can be done to get similar signs for Athboy?
Áth Buí le Gaeilge will write to the County Council
to get an answer to this question and we will provide the Council with a translation for most of the street
names in the town, see below. |

External Bilingual /Irish Signage Scheme - A Quick Guide
-
Includes new and replacement signage
-
Sample
signage includes Shop-Front Signs; Signage on Business Vehicles;
External Directional Signs, etc
-
Ensure
that use of English and Irish are on one single sign (as opposed to
two separate signs). This is best practice, more cost-effective, and
does not require any further planning permission.
-
There
is no need to translate the business brand name. The aim of this
assistance is to enhance your current service / product brand
through complementary use of Irish.
-
Ensure
that all other text of the sign is translated to Irish. This is
important in maximising the effectiveness of bilingualism in making
the sign stand out.
-
Both
text in English and Irish should be the same size. Using different
font styles and colours can enhance effectiveness of text.
-
Your
designer / sign writer can contact Foras na Gaeilge for free help
with Irish language text / translations.
To avail
of this assistance, simply forward the details of your company on the
appropriate form along with the costing quote to
aseoighe@forasnagaeilge.ie
or via
post to: Áine Seoighe, Foras na Gaeilge, 7 Cearnóg Mhuirfean, Baile Átha
