hughberti just wanted to say that im going to try to translate ubuntu into irish for the next release...18:41
hughbertubuntu has already an irish option when you boot up, but when you install ubuntu the install menu is'nt translated at all...18:43

czajkowskihughbert:  great stuff18:55
hughbertdoes anyone want to give me a hand? My irish is a bit rusty..18:57
ShaneMMy irish is terrible at this stage.18:57

czajkowskihughbert: great there is a irish translators ml on launchpad18:59
hughbertdid ye hear about the goverments plan to grow the irish speaking population by a 1/3 over the next 20 years?18:59
czajkowskino..19:00
ShaneMI'm pretty sure that won't happen.19:00
hughbertreally maybe i should get on that thing aswell...19:00
hughbertwhy?19:00
ShaneMBecause I think more people then ever are asking for the language to be optional.19:01
ShaneMIt's in decline.19:01
hughbertbollocks... but like all you have to do is choose it when you shove the cd in... as an option.. i don't want to force it down people's throat..19:02
czajkowskihughbert: please mind your language in here19:03
hughberti mean join the translation team for irish...19:03
ShaneMhughbert: Don't get me wrong, I don't think there's anything wrong with people learning it or using it. I just personally think the language is in decline.19:03
czajkowskiI was referring to the B word19:04
czajkowskihttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-ie19:04
czajkowskifagan: can you moderate people please on that list19:04
hughbertsorry about that... i get angry sometimes..19:04

czajkowskihughbert: thats fine just please moderate your language19:04
hughberti don't want to get thrown off this one aswell...19:05

czajkowskiyes Ubuntu channels are on Freenode19:06
hughbertthats grand sure as long as i can talk to you i'll be grand...19:07
czajkowskihughbert: it's nothing to do with me, if you cause issues on other channels under the Ubuntu name space the IRC ops deal wiht it19:07
czajkowski*with19:07
faganoh I didnt see the person there19:07
hughbertlook i do not know why i was banned from the ubuntu channel i went on once and someone just banned me... maybe they think im a treat...19:08
hughberti said some pretty conterversal things there in a threat a while ago and maybe people got pissed off... some people even removed there own posts...19:10
czajkowskihughbert: how about we drop it now seeing as you're back now anways19:10
hughbertlive and let live i suppose...19:11
hughbertright back to irish...19:13
hughbertya i know the irish language is in decline...19:13
hughbertand lets be honest here the language has'nt really evolved over the years....19:13
hughbertthe gealtact people seem to have it all they're own way...19:13
tsdgeosforeigner here19:19
tsdgeosit's a bit weird since were i come from19:19
czajkowskitsdgeos: hey there!19:19
hughbertthe language hasn't spread out from the gealtachtí (hope thats right) much at all... in fact its the opposate...19:19
tsdgeoswith same population than ireland we have a very strong "regional" language19:19
hughbertare you living in ireland?19:19
tsdgeoswith a stronger co-language19:19
tsdgeoscatalan vs spanish19:19
tsdgeosand we still get everyone there to understand catalan and accept it to be the main language at schools19:19
hughbertaah right and ye have basc to the north aswell...19:19
tsdgeosczajkowski: here19:19
tsdgeoshughbert: yep, for a year now19:19
hughbertreally wow.. fair duce...19:19
tsdgeosi mean you go in the streets of barcelona and you can ear people speaking catalan, i have yet to ear anyone speaking irish in dublin19:19
hughbertyou'd have to go to a language school or get out of town to hear people speak irish... their all speaking american there..19:19
hughbertin south dublin...19:19
hughberti was in the Hill of Tara and i met two girls from Kildare and Dublin speaking irish one fine day..19:19
hughbertI just thought wow..19:19
faganisnt the hill of tara a motorway now19:19
hughbertThey weren't gealtoirs...19:19
hughbertha ha... ya it is...19:19
faganisnt the gov grand19:19
hughbertha ha... 5km away...19:19
hughberti was going to use an expetitive but COC doesn't allow me to express my views...19:20
hughbertThey were going to build the motorway 1km away from the hill of tara...19:21
faganwell I suppose its just a hill but they shouldnt just remove a piece of irish history like that19:22
hughbertand then they found one of the biggest southerains ever found in ireland...19:22
hughbert"well i suppose its just a hill" oooo don't make me angry... grrrrrrrr...19:23
hughbertIt was the seat of the high king of ireland for millennia...19:24
faganyeah19:24
faganI said its just a hill as in its just a hill now.19:24
hughbertCu cullan, queen aofie and all those great people...19:24
faganif it was a tourist hotspot id say they would have built around it but since americans dont find it interesting they just plowed on through19:25
hughbertNo it is'nt i take it you have never been to visit?19:25
faganwhen I was like 1019:25
hughbertIts a complex of mounds and hills and churches and stuff..19:26

hughbertits a bit big alright..19:32
hughbertbut the spike is way bigger...19:32
