Abstract

[This essay will provide some background information on the history of the Irish language. It will also put forward reasons as to why it is essential for Irish-language writers to have their work, e.g., poetry, translated into English. Different approaches to translation will be outlined as will reasons as to why some choose to write in a minority language. My approach to translating my own work, and that of others, from Irish, and other languages, into English will be discussed also.]
