@ Luaghaidh: We don't use the term "mid-wife" in standard English for the male equivalent. A "mid-husband" refers
to the man that is married to a woman between her first and her third marriages.* I learned this while practicing law in Central Texas.
I've never heard it used but I am a native speaker and I think that is the way it should be.

Tuigim..... Silim go bhuil sé déanach agus ba chór domh gul go mo leaba.

* actually it can be the man/husband/partner she has between any latter non-consecutive husbands.

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.

Well, as long as it doesn't have anything to with a man's waist measurement or a mid-life crisis, I'm happy with it, whatever it means.

When I was taking Japanese classes in the late 1980's at a local school here in SF (run by the Buddhist Church of North America, a Japanese-American church which I believe is headquartered here), we almost always had young women as teachers, many of whom were here in SF getting degrees at San Francisco State University to teach English back in Japan. I remember one conversation where, for some reason I've forgotten, someone asked the young woman teacher, obviously a well-educated professional, how one could specify in Japanese that a pilot was a woman, and the teacher replied that it would make no sense, because there were no women pilots!

Simliar experiences here, though I think they've gotten used to the idea more nowadays. (You can of course specify using the prefix 女性 "female" (or 男性 "male")).
