mick15, I just wanted to check something.

From your original post, I took it that you had received these messages from someone and were trying to translate them from Irish into English (unsuccessfully via Google) and also trying to work out which dialect they are in.

You don't really need to translate "thank you my love" or "i am so in love with you" from English to Irish, so much as to decipher the messages you received.

Is that correct?

I don't think there's anything terribly dialect-specific about either of them.

No, but it sure looked like everybody had started to translate the English into Irish instead of the other way around. :LOL:

I thought he'd had the English translated at Google...didn't catch that someone had sent it to him.

To be fair, it wasn't exactly clear either. He only said he "had" the messages and I wasn't sure if he meant he had received them, or if he just had them in mind and wanted to send them. ;) That was what prompted me to ask.
