Until morale improves.

Hi. I'm new.

My husband's family is from Ireland, but he doesn't speak any of the language. He really wants to get a tattoo, but wants to ensure that it has the proper translation *laughs*. This is the quote they throw around (he's in the Navy), and he wants to put it on his saluting arm (snarky much?! )

Thats the quote in it's entirety... -The beatings will continue until morale improves-.
We would love a translation that is as close to the meaning as is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Now I get to dig through all of these resources and see if I can get a handle on some Gaelic. This could take awhile

Thank you guys for your time! I look forward to hearing from you all.

Leanfaidh an léasadh ar aghaidh...

Wait for more suggestions, or spelling corrections

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Bríd's so far looks good to me except can't you use "na léastaí"? Or is that unnecessary?

As for the rest, ". . . go dtí bisíonn an sprid."

Get more ideas for corrections, etc.

oh sorry I thought you only wanted the first part.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Leanfaidh an léasadh ar aghaidh go bhfeabhsóidh an sprid.

Or you can replace "léasadh" with "bualadh" or "greadadh" (many more words in Irish for beating )

There are other ways of saying it too, so wait for more input.

Thank you for the help! I'm waiting to see if anyone has a contribution.. but I greatly appreciate the insight

Brids is good except it should be ..Leanfar ..the Autonomous form

Leanfar an léasadh ar aghaidh go bhfeabhsóidh an sprid.

Wisdom is never on the menu, you have to own the restaurant.

No, it shouldn’t. An léasadh is the subject in the sentence, and you can’t have an explicit subject with the autonomous.

You could say leanfar ar aghaidh leis an léasadh, but just leanfaidh an léasadh ar aghaidh is simpler and more to the point.

My translations are usually GU (Ulster Irish), unless CO (Standard Orthography) is requested.

Wouldn’t be a good morning for me either, if I had to chug down raw eggs and Cognac.

Well, thanks for that graphic smiley, kk. It's a good thing I don't eat breakfast.
